PVC tile subjected to sun and rain, there will be a lightening of the color fading phenomenon, is this normal? Will it affect the service life of the tile?Gao Yi Building MaterialsPVC tile experts have a thoughtful answer for you.
Some customers have reported thatPVC shingles can fade and become lighter in color after a year or two of use. “Will this reduce the life of the shingle?” Many people are concerned that fading PVC shingles will have a very negative impact.
In response.Gao Yi Building MaterialsPVC tile experts say “no need to worry”. Because the fading of PVC tile mainly depends on the structure of the pigment (colorant) itself, fading does not mean that the quality of the tile has changed, nor does it mean that its life will be shortened. There are three reasons for this:
1, PVC tile pigments have different molecular structure, the stability has a big difference;
2、After the pigment fades, PVC tile will restore the original color of PVC resin powder, i.e. white. However, the structure of PVC molecule does not change, so it does not affect the use of PVC tile.
3, PVC tile color only play a colorful and diverse effect, and can not affect its service life. The following two factors determine the service life of PVC tile:
- Internal product factors:The formula of the PVC tile itself, the processing technology and the thickness of the tile;
- External environmental factors: the stronger the UV light, the moreThe shorter the service life of PVC tiles. In addition to this, improper installation of PVC tiles can also shorten their service life.
It follows thatPVC tile color fading is a normal phenomenon, and does not affect its service life, you can put a hundred heart.
