Will fading PVC shingles affect the life of the shingle?
PVC tile subjected to sun and rain, there will be a lightening of the color fading phenomenon, is this normal? Will affect the service life of the tile? Gao Yi building materials PVC tile experts for your intimate answer.
Some customers have reported that after one or two years of use, PVC shingles will fade and become lighter in color. “Will this reduce the life of the shingle?” Many people are worried that PVC tile fading will have a very negative impact.
In this regard, Gao Yi building materials PVC tile experts said “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, processing technology and the thickness of the tile;
- External environmental factors: The stronger the UV rays, the shorter the service life of PVC tiles. In addition, improper installation of PVC tiles will also shorten their service life.
It can be seen, PVC tile color fading is a normal phenomenon, and does not affect its service life, we can put a hundred heart.
