UV resistance
UV resistance refers to a material's ability to withstand damage from ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. UV rays can break down fabrics, plastics, and paints over time, causing fading, cracking, or deterioration. A UV-resistant material has properties or treatments that protect it from these harmful effects, helping it maintain its appearance and strength longer. This resistance is especially important for outdoor products like outdoor furniture, clothing, and automotive parts, ensuring they remain durable and visually appealing despite sun exposure.
