Abstract
To study photo-oxidation behavior of PVC-coated membrane material under different UV radiation intensities, three intensities of Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation were carried out. The yellowness indexes under different weathering conditions were measured, as well as UV-Vis spectrometry. Result shows that the photo-oxidation mechanism doesn’t change under different UV intensities, but the photo-oxidation reaction rates are not equal when the cumulative UV radiation energy is same. A conclusion is obtained that photo-oxidation reaction rate under different intensities is out of proportion to UV intensity. And according to Schwarzschild’s law, an equation form is established to predict material’s life.
