Abstract: Accelerated and natural aging of safety films used in protective glazing systems was investigated by the use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and tensile tests. Accelerated conditions involved simultaneous exposure of specimens to ultraviolet (UV) radiation between 295 and 450 nm and each of four temperature/relative humidity (RH) environments, i.e., (a) 30 °C at
