How will normal UV light affect the mechanical/physical properties of a SMC (fiberglass compression molding) product?

ecause of its better properties including higher strength, light weight, highe r resistance to corrosion and non-conductive etc, fiberglass is more and mor e popular in many different fields, many customers are using fiberglass to make their machine covers or enclosures , which will work under critical we ather condition like the desert or in states near ocean. .

What will happen after years’ UV light? Will the physical properties of the S MC(fiberglass compression molding) to be changed?

Studies show that after long time environmental exposure on the weathering station, products made from fiberglass underwent several physical changes The most obvious change is the degradation, including discoloration on the exposed surface, occurring a cloudy appearance on the expose surface etc, this is because the resin absorbed a significant amount of moisture, causing volumetric changes. This degradation happen to not only parts made by h and laid, but also SMC(fiberglass compression molding) parts.

Generally speaking, life time of a fiberglass product can be as long as 10 ye ars but it still depends on the exact working condition.
