ULTRAVIOLET DEGRADATION OF PAINT FILMS

Abstract

A cell was built to contain the gaseous degradation products from coating films and paint films placed on the inner surface of the cell and then exposed to ultraviolet radiation. These products may be identified by their infrared spectra. The cell has been used to identify the degradation products of linseed oil and an alkyd resin. It may be used to measure the protective qualities of various pigments in vehicles by comparison of degradation rates of vehicle only with degradation rates of complete paints.
