Title:
Performance evaluation for polymer glazings for transportation
Agreement Number:
952653
Agreement Value:
$357,470.00
Agreement Date:
May 1, 2020 - Dec 31, 2024
Description:
Weatherability is one of the most important requirements for polymer glazings in transportation. However, standards and testing methods adapted to Canada’s climate do not exist and weathering tests, which require specific equipment and expertise, are very expensive and time consuming. The CTT Group, a college technology center in Quebec, has a world class expertise and infrastructure in accelerated weathering of synthetic materials. As a collaborator of the NRC in the CLIP Glazings Project, the CTT Group will develop weathering test protocols applicable to the Canadian climate and will execute short-term performance and accelerated weathering testing to 1) provide guidance for NRC’s polymer glazing development, and 2) evaluate the weathering performance of the glazings developed throughout the CLIP Glazings Project so as to assess their viability in the Canadian climate.
