By comparing the obtained POI results with the corresponding UV-Vis-NIR transmittance and absorption data of the coating layers, the obtained results proofed, that the transmittance of UV light is not the only important parameter which influences the degradation of the e-coat and especially thermocatalytic effects, which accelerate the photooxidation process, should be considered additionally.enmultilayer coatingsMehrlagenschichtPhotooxidation Index (POI)photodegradationElektrotauchlackierung (ETL)Multischicht-LacksystemKraftfahrzeugBeschichtungLackOxidationconference paper
