Yes, the formula includes a UV inhibitor. The product was formulated for the New Zealand market where the ozone layer is thin, allowing more UV through than we find here in the northern hemisphere.

After more than two decades of field exposure in different climatic conditions, samples collected of EPDM membrane show no evidence of crazing or cracking. As a result of the excellent UV resistance, EPDM membrane can be warranted up to 30 years.

No. That is why, after application of Dr. Fixit Torchshield, all non-foot-traffic areas should be finished with aluminium paint for UV protection

UV radiation is commonly used in germicidal lights in hoods and is a component of sunlight. UV radiation will have a serious deleterious effect on most plastics, especially the polyolefins, including polyethylene (low-density polyethylene [LDPE] or high-density polyethylene [HDPE]); polypropylene (PP), and polymethylpentene (PMP); and acrylics. Polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate G copolymer (PETG) can withstand limited UV exposure.

No. You should always paint or cover foam that will be exposed to sunlight. UV rays will cause the foam to discolor and degrade. Touch 'n Seal Black Foam is UV-resistent and does not require painting to maintain it's integrity.

Standard CDA cases are slightly UV-resistant. In additiona, they will protect your items by sealing them in hard acrylic to keep them in the same condition as when they were graded. They will not be touched by human hands and the hard acrylic prevents it from sustaining any additional creases, bubble dings, or other damage. In addition, 99% UV-Resistant acrylic cases are available for additional light protection.

Most of the decals are not resistant to UV light. If UV resistance is required for the decal, you must state out this condition when you make the enquiry. The material and the ink for the decal will be different. And the cost of the decal will not be the same.

Most of the stickers are not resistant to UV light. If UV resistance is required for the sticker, you must state out this condition when you make the enquiry. The material and the ink for the sticker will be different. And the cost of the sticker will not be the same.

U.V. acts as a strong catalyst for the oxidations process which breaks down the polymer chains, leading weakness in the pipes & fittings and to loss of hydrostatic strength." Above effect is very much possible with materials like PP & PE. But for PVC main process is dehydrochlorination not Oxidation. This dehydrochlorination does not break down the polymer chains to any significant extent after outdoor exposure, being mainly limited to a surface discoloration effect only.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is at the invisible, violet end of the light spectrum. Even though we can't see UV light, we are exposed to UV rays from all light sources, including the sun.

Like any decorated products, direct sunlight will cause sublimated products to fade over time. Factors that affect fading are temperature and weather - for example an area with more direct sunlight and dry, arid conditions will probably contribute to faster fading. With that being said, the ArTainium2UV+ inks are specially designed for longer UV resistance.

This depends on your usage. If you are a weekender, you can expect 10 years or more on your decks and a couple years less in your high-traffic cockpit. If you're a deck-scrubbing fanatic or live aboard, you might see 5 years between recoats. In heavy use or commercial environments, even though the surface may wear away more quickly, it is easy to renew it with very little effort.

Yes. This is a wonderful feature of KiwiGrip. You can recoat after a good soap and water scrub. You can change color or texture during a recoat, too. Yes the acrylic formula is inherently mold and mildew resistant. You'll find however, like any other anti-skid, if you don't wash it regularly dirt will accumulate in the valleys providing fertile ground for mold and fungus growth. Stain resistance and non-slip surfaces are a conundrum.

All light is given off at different wavelengths. For example if you see a rainbow, you will notice that the colors are always in a specific order from red all the way to blue. You are able to see each color due to their individual wavelength. These wavelengths are part of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. UV light is at a wavelength of 254nm (nanometers), and is not visible to the naked eye.

UV dose is the energy that is coming off the UV lamp over a specific time period. Therefore, UV dose (or fluence) is a product of UV intensity and time. Dose is usually measured in milli joules per square centimeter. Each Sterilight system is rated to disinfect your water at specific flowrate, under specific water quality conditions to give a UV dose of 30 mJ/cm2 at the end of the lamp life (which is one year). If you were to run say 10 USGPM through a 5 USGPM Sterilight system (ie.

KiwiGrip cleans up nicely with a good biodegradable boat soap, water, and a soft bristle brush that can penetrate the peaks and valleys. KiwiGrip can be high pressure washed if required, but it is often best to use a boat cleaning detergent first, then remove with high pressure water. You can use bleach if you wish, in a very mild form only.

Apply only when surface, air and product temperature is 50° to 90° F (10° to 32° C). Normally dries in one hour at 77° F (25° C). Allow at least 4 hours before recoating. High humidity may prolong drying time. deg; to 70° F, KiwiGrip will tack up in under an hour. You can walk on your new decks without shoes in 24 hours. The product will be tough but slightly rubbery in less than 48 hours, and will reach final hardness in 48 to 72 hours.

KiwiGrip is impervious to common caustics such as coca-cola, peanut butter, jelly, alcoholic beverages, and detergents, although it can be damaged by some solvents. Diesel, oil and gasoline spills should not be allowed to pool. Quickly mop up spills, and promptly scrub with a detergent boat soap and water.

The weight per litre is 1.2 kg, spread rate is somewhere between 2 to 3 square metres per litre or somewhere between 300 to 400 gm per square metre. Note, in some circumstances racing yachts have applied a very thin coat with a mild texture knowing that it may need further applications as required.
