A ten year durability programme has been com pleted on flexural test sam ples reinforced with 54 layers o f continuous networks o f fibrillated polypropylene film . H alf o f the sam ples were exposed to natural weathering and half to indoor storage in air. The main conclusion was that no detrimental effects were observed in relation to the maximum notional stress measured in either set o f specim ens during this tim e period.
