Weathering Test Method & Program Design Implementation

A condensed Fundamentals of Weathering seminar focused on outdoor and laboratory exposure testing with an emphasis on design and implementation of a weathering testing program. Factors of polymer degradation, chemistry and stabilization will be covered to better understand the effects of specific exposure and test method conditions, standard and custom test methods, issues affecting service life prediction, principles of Design of Experiment, and overall guidelines for establishing a weatherability testing program.
