Notizen:
A BPA polycarbonate/ABS blend containing 2% TiO2 was exposed to xenon are irradiation under SAE J 1885 conditions (quartz/borosilicate filters). “CRD” conditions (borosilicate/borosilicate filters), and ASTM D4459-86 conditions (borosilicate/soda lime filters). The results are consistent with the conclusion that polycarbonate dominates the photochemistry of polycarbonate/ABS blends under SAE J1885 and CRD xenon are exposure conditions. Exposure under ASTM D4459-86 conditions produced results similar to CRD conditions with some additional contribution attributable to the ABS component. The “activation spectrum” of PC/ABS blends under CRD conditions closely resembled the sum of the activation spectra of ABS and PC determined under similar conditions. The well-known change in mechanism that occurs when polycarbonate is exposed to light with wavelengths 〈 300 nm was manifested by increased rates of yellowing, surface erosion. and loss of gloss under SAE J 1885 conditions. Because of the mechanism change, testing under quartz/borosilicate filtered xenon are exposure cannot be considered to be appropriate for polycarbonate-containing formulations.
