Chemical Degradation and Color Changes of Paint Protective Coatings Used in Solar Glass Mirrors

Abstract: This paper reports a study of the influence of outdoor natural aging on paint coatings applied to the back of three commercial solar glass mirrors (A1, C2, and D2) under two different exposure environments (marine and desert) in Morocco for a period of about three years. The aging assessment was carried out through colorimetric measurements and FTIR-ATR (Attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared) analyses of the top coat paints. The obtained results demonstrate that the tested coating system had a… Show more

“…[33] Additionally, numerous other authors have examined different plastic materials in terms of fragmentation and degradation using different processes, analytical methods, conditions/parameters, degradation factors, exposure time and plastic particle size. [37][38][39][40][41][42] Nevertheless, like the majority of researchers mentioned above, we have specifically selected commonly encountered plastic materials for our study. This choice encompasses both conventional plastics and bioplastics, enhancing the significance and practicality of our findings.…”

“…Two major absorption peaks were observed around 5250 and 4400 cm −1 . A peak around 5250 cm −1 is typically attributed to the hydroxyl ring, which represents a combination of asymmetric stretching and bending of O-H, and the peak around 4400 cm −1 represents the combination band of the second overtone of the epoxy ring [22,26,27]. Both characteristics are highly correlated to coating degradation.…”
