- Severe cases of discoloration due to weathering (accelerated aging test,sunshine weathering, no rain)
It is necessary to take degradation of the coloring agent as a result of weathering into consideration, and it is important to carefully examine the coloring agent being used. In the case of reds, blues, yellows, greens, and other vivid colors, it is important to choose a coloring agent with good weatherability properties in advance. Furthermore, changes in the discoloration behavior of the added coloring agent are monitored in terms of color changes in the molded component.
When coloring is being ordered, it is important to indicate that "Weatherability is a requirement."
