T1 - Application of a newly proposed sensor for effective UV-irradiance for the monitoring of both natural and artificial weathering conditions T2 - Natural and Artificial Ageing of Polymers N2 - To improve on the classic radiometric sensor with radiometric measurement [ ] here a new UV-sensor characteristic for effective UV is proposed that no longer applies equal weighting of spectral irradiation into the UV irradiance value but rather aims at approaching a weighting according to a typical spectral sensitivity curve of polymers. This curve resembles the erythema curve of the skin which is the basis of the UV-index. For the use of the sensor it would be desirable to keep it in the artificial weathering device for the complete weathering test (including rain phases) while the same sensor should also be applicable for the monitoring of outdoor weathering exposures. A first application of this kind of weighted measurement and a comparison with radiometric measurements accompanied with polymer ageing results will be presented together with conclusions for a future effective UV irradiance sensor.
