| Abstract: | The aim of this study is the evaluation by mechanical testing of the durability of rigid PVC. The prediction of mechanical durability is made by following the change in the brittle temperature TB at a constant speed by an indentation test after artificial and natural weathering. TB is presented as a possible durability index for thin, extruded rigid PVC profiles. |
