Abstract: This paper on weathering of plastics and plastic pipe is a response to a concern developed in the past eighteen months about the durability of plastics pipe in outdoor storage. The presentation is offered by two organizations: Du Pont, which manufactures a large number of different plastics resins and also polyethylene plastic piping systems and D. S. E. T. Laboratories, an independent company, which operates weather testing stations and equipment for accelerated weather evaluation. The message of these two companies is that there is a large background of experience with incorporation of weather resistance into plastics and that commercial PE piping systems from reliable suppliers have more than adequate protection against weathering in normal outdoor storage, certainly up to two years in any area of the United States.
