PD ISO/TS 21488:2020 PDF

What is ISO/TS 21488 about?

ISO/TS 21488 specifies methods for exposing specimen to alternating outdoor weathering supported with artificial radiation. This method utilizes, as much as possible, the natural outdoor exposure which are then assisted by the artificial radiation during nighttime and in cloudy conditions. ISO/TS 21488 is applicable to polyolefin materials as well as to products and portions of products. The artificial and natural outdoor exposures and their practices applicable to ISO/TS 21488 are described in ISO 4892-1 , ISO 4892-3 and ISO 877-1 , ISO 877-2 , and ISO 877-3 , respectively.

Who is ISO/TS 21488 for ?

Plastic manufacturers Polymer scientists and engineers

Why should you use ISO/TS 21488 ?

The performance of polyolefin plastics and products exposed outdoors is reduced by various environmental factors such as UV radiation, heat, humidity, acid rain, etc. Therefore, th...
