Weathering of Industrial Fabrics (Accelerated and Natural)

Abstract

Much has been written, many theories expounded, and numerous opinions given, about the relationship and how much correlation there is between accelerated and natural weathering. This article will discuss the various aspects of what could happen when a truck tarpaulin is fabricated, placed on a loaded truck, and driven all over the country. A new, practical test will be described which gives valuable information on whether a coated fabric will perform or not.
