Abstract | This Digest discusses how radiation affects organic building materials when its action is associated with the action of other elements of weather. Because the severity of damage is increased with the combined attack, preventive action must be taken to reduce degradation to an acceptable level. This includes production of polymers unaffected by UV or incorporation of compounds that reflect or absorb UV. Although these steps are normally in the hands of the material producer, building designers should be aware of their importance and of the limitations they may place on performance. |
