Summary

Resinous binders and plastic materials are generally sensitive to the action of solar rays.

The solar radiation acts together on aspect (colour alteration) and on mechanical properties.

The first chapter is devoted to the study of the actual solar radiation, an attempt is made to identify the reasons why this radiation can be aggressive for resinous binders.

Chapter 2 gives as examples some deterioration mechanisms of plastic materials under the action of light combined to that of the oxygen of atmosphere.

The 3rd chapter covers the simulation of radiation; the different models of lamps used for the study of simulated or artificial ageing are described with their advantages and drawbacks, and practical advice is given concerning the utilization of these lamps.
