Weathering and yellowing: looking beyond appearance
Include UV exposure, heat and service life in material assessment.

Describe the environment precisely
Indoor lighting, outdoor UV exposure, heat and cleaning agents create different requirements. Define the environment and service life before selecting a material direction.
Consider appearance and structure
Color change is only one part of the assessment. Evaluate mechanical behavior and dimensions before and after aging as required by the project.
Set an actionable validation plan
Share the target color, operating environment and acceptance criteria with the engineering team to guide compound, sample and validation discussions.
This article provides general material-selection guidance, not a technical data sheet. Confirm the grade, operating conditions and validation requirements for your project.
