Color parameters and infrared spectra were measured after defined exposure times and normalized to the irradiation doses. Color changes of an industrial standard with an orange pigment (ORWET) were found to depend for both artificial and natural weathering tests predominantly on irradiation dose. This confirms that the spectral power distribution of the lamp/filter configuration proposed in NP matches sufficiently well to both the sunlight spectra in Florida and Stuttgart. For a melamine-based standard crack coat, crack initiation was found only for NP and the late stage of ZS. For all coating systems studied, characteristic band intensities of infrared spectra and/or color parameters for the two protocols and from natural weathering at the related outdoor sites were shifted along the time axis to merge to master plots. To differentiate between thermally activated, photo-initiated, and hydrolytic degradation, the shift factors were plotted versus inverse annual- or cycle-averaged temperatures including irradiation ratios and averaged humidity ratios. Despite the different reaction mechanism for the acrylic component in the silicone resin/acrylate and the polyurethane coating, a dominance of thermally activated degradation was evident for both. The melamine-based binder showed coupled degradation mechanisms (photo-induced and thermally activated complimented by moisture effects).

Assessment of artificially or naturally weathered coatings is however still mostly subjective without distinct correlation between the formulation of a coating and its weathering stability.

In this study, a quantitative method to examine weathering-induced changes in coatings with limited chemical information is described, which is based solely on dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). This approach is applied to free films to eliminate possible influences of the substrate during the measurement. The effects of artificial weathering on three exemplary acrylic waterborne wood coatings are then examined and compared to the results of state of the art artificial weathering. Precisely, the impact of additional light stabilizer on mechanical properties, molecular weight, and <i>T</i><sub>g</sub> is monitored.
