Pictured above, we have photographed weathered samples of the original and new materials side-by-side. You can see for yourself the color shift in the original face sheet versus the new standard having no apparent color change after 5-years of UV exposure. ASTM D-2244 determined the color shift over the test cycle. The test yielded the following results:
