Coatings are essential in various applications like car paint, marine coatings, coatings on wood and plastics, and architectural protection. However, solar irradiance, heat, and water induce microscopic ageing processes that lead to macroscopic changes like fading, discoloration, flaking, delamination, cracks, and gloss loss over time.
Detecting the point in time when these property changes reach a critical level for failure is crucial. Conducting proper weathering tests, both outdoors and in accelerated weathering instruments, can help prevent premature failures in paints and coatings.
