[QUOTE="Lee Bullock, post: 445104, member: 450"] I was the guest on the Podcast on this subject. It's oxidation causing cross-linking of the Carbon bonds which weakens the structure and makes it change colour. UV and sunlight isn't only cause - a major cause is elevated temperature. A rule of thumb is every 10 degree Celsius rise in temperature doubles the rate of reaction. High temperatures even in the absence of UV is a killer for ABS and acetate. [/QUOTE]
