Abstract
The paper describes the aging of plastic products due to weather conditions. It focuses on the analysis of aging and weathering of plastic products, or parts of building structures. As part of the research, the Xenotest Alfa device was used to simulate the weathering of plastic products. Xenotest Alfa simulates, for example, variable temperature, solar radiation, humidity and different types of climate. Samples of plastic and wood-plastic products were placed in the device, where the test of accelerated degradation and light stability was performed. The motivation for using the device is the effect of UV radiation on the samples, which causes the aging of the material and its gradual degradation, which may in the future cause the product to malfunction or degrade its color, as shown by this research.
