Abstract

In the fourth part of the series of articles on climatic aging of paint coating systems, the additivity of the impact of climatic factors is investigated. The color indices are studied in laboratory tests for different sequences of exposure to sand and dust, ultraviolet radiation, and thermal cycles. It is shown that the change in color distance differs for different sequences of exposure. The sequences of exposures are ranked by the magnitude of change in color distance.
