Abstract

Polymers used for outdoor applications are exposed to environmental stresses composed of a number of factors which include solar radiation, oxidation, hydrolysis, ozone, temperature, and thermal cycling. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is widely used as a building construction material, where it is exposed to hostile weather conditions. In this work, white pigmented PVC pipes used for building purposes to hostile weather conditions of Saudi Arabia were studied and changes in structural characteristics were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Variation in surface characteristics of exposed samples are also presented with changes in molecular weight and molecular weight distribution (MWD) as determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The mechanical properties which explains the performance characteristics of PVC pipes are also monitored.
