Weathering causes millions of dollars of product damage every year. Damage includes color change, gloss loss, strength loss, cracking, peeling, chalking and oxidation. The main causes of weathering are sunlight (especially UV), high temperatures, and moisture in the form of rain, dew, and high humidity. In addition, there are often synergistic effects between sunlight and moisture. Materials resistant to light alone and moisture alone may fail when subject to light and moisture in combination.
