PlasDECK PVC Vinyl Decking, Xenon
Weathering Study, SAE J-2527, Automotive Exterior Weathering
Study
Non-migrating plasticizers
– All types of plastic contain
oils or “plasticizers.” These oils are usually free to move
around within the plastic. They will migrate to the surface
where they can be washed away, or the plasticizers will
migrate to the bottom of the material and compromise the
glue bond.
The oils in our PVC plastic will not migrate because the
oils are locked in place. That means that the PlasDECK won’t
dry out, crack, or crumble over time and the PlasDECK will
retain its superior adhesion. This proprietary process is
unique to PlasDECK decking material and can’t be found in
other synthetic decking products on the market. We have been
awarded two US Patents (US Patents
7,578,251 &
7,617,791).
These samples
represent 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 hour exposures (i.e. 500 = 1 year,
2500 = 5 Year). The conditions of the
test were 16 hours of UV light at 158ºF (70ºC), followed by 8 hours condensation at
122ºF (50ºC).
Below are the
actual samples that were tested. As you can see, the color remained intact
and there are no signs of any degradation in the material.
A Joule is the
International System of Units (SI)
unit of work or energy, equal to the work done by a force of one Newton when its
point of application moves through a distance of one meter in the direction of
the force: equivalent to 107 ergs and one watt-second.
