UV coating on Aramid fibers
UV coating on Aramid fibers
(OP)
Hi everyone, i need to know whether is it possible to coat an Aramid fiber to protect it from UV degradation. Does anyone know any books or websites that i can study about fiber coatings. Can anyone help me on this. Thank you in advance.

I know little about carbon fibers, but am interested in your comment that "Clear coats are paints and contain UV absorbers". No clear coat that I am aware of, including the ones that claim to be UV resistant, provide the amount of protection against the sun that is provided by tinted acrylics.

My experience is the opposite. If you know of a clear polyurethane coating with actual excellent UV resistance (as opposed to advertised), I would like to know about it. Where I live in Queensland, the UV exposure is extreme, and no clear coating will last more than 2 years, while tinted acrylics last 10 years.
