Description
Summary:A research and modelling of weatherability and environmental durability of multilayer polymer insulation of both cable and pipelines with printed barcodes or color identification information were performed. It was proved that interlayer printing of identification codes in distribution pipelines insulation coatings provides high marking stability to light and atmospheric condensation. This allows to carry out their distant damage control. However, microbiological fouling of upper polymer layer hampers the distant damage pipelines identification. The color difference values and density changes of PE and PVC printed insolation due to weather and biological factors were defined.
