Definition of weatheringSpoormaker Consultancy in Reliability & Liability of Plastic Products
g
Weathering is the adverse response of a material or d t t li t ft i t d dproduct to climate, often causing unwanted and
premature product failures.
Primary Factors of Weathering:
• solar radiation (light energy)• temperature• water (moisture/dew)
