“…Theoretically, the time needed for coatings' complete aging is infinite, which is meaningless in engineering practice. In this paper, a value of 95% a is set as a criterion to forecast coatings' service lives [11,25]. Taking an average daily irradiance of 0.13 kw•h•m −2 in Jiangsu province, China as an example [32], the effective service lives of the CR, EP, PU, CRT, EPT, and PUT coatings adopted in this paper were 95.6, 74.9, 90.9, 277.4, 227.6, and 1494.5 days, respectively.…”
