Colour Ageing in Acrylic Resin Plates and Natural Minerals on the Façade after 10 Years of Sun Exposure in the Marine Environment

The synthetic material developed by Dupont in 1963 for solid surfaces has been used since its origin numerous applications. One of the most popular ones last decade is as a finishing layer on façades. first references that contemplated this use outside were Seeko’o hotel Bordeaux executed 2007 and refurbishment 7700 m2 shell Hôtel Ivoire congress centre Abidjan (Ivory Coast) 2009. In Spain, example installation rehabilitation main building La Rotonda de la Playa San Juan urbanisation Alicante, designed 1965 architect Guardiola Gaya rehabilitated 2010 Miguel Salvador Landmann. Ten years later, our research focused study colour ageing acrylic resin natural mineral sheets each façades, with different orientations exposure to sea wind. To end, it studied solar radiation surfaces, wind their façades tests tele-spectroradiometer carried out. makes possible quantify differences all them state combination atmospheric agent causing degradation.
