Kurzfassung:
This report covers the results of two-year exposure studies of experimental and conventional cotton awning fabrics exposed at six different environmental sites throughout New York State. The six sites ranged from heavy industrial to densely populated urban to rural. The fabrics tested included conventional vinyl- and acrylic-coated, standard, mineral- dyed and treated awning duck and similarly coated, experimentally finished awning duck. Untreated, uncoated duck and a lightweight print cloth were exposed at all sites for reference control. The samples were exposed on open, 45° inclined, wooden racks facing both north and south at each site. Ambient air quality data collected at all of the exposure sites included sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, soiling, and total photochemical oxidants. Degree of degradation of the exposed samples was determined by periodic measurements of tensile strength. A definite relationship was shown between accelerated degradation and high air pollution, particularly with high sulfur dioxide content and high soiling properties. Vinyl-coated, conventionally treated awnings were most resistant to degradation.
