Test Method D 6954 - 04
Samples are pre-aged in what is known as the QUV (accelerated weathering test ASTM D 5208 - 01) for different periods of time. The weathering data obtained represent comparative data measuring the difference in degradability before and after UV light exposure. Test conditions used: Cycle A 20 hours UV light, 4 hours condensation to replicate the effect of sunlight, heat, rain and dew in the day / night cycles. This is essential to determine the degradability rate of the finished product if accidentally exposed to UV light ( outdoor litter or exposure ).
Heat aging (ASTM D 5510 - 01) Conditions used: air forced oven, temperature 70° C, ambient moisture conditions. This test is performed to determine the shelf life of the finished product and product degradability rate in its end-disposal environment.
