Understanding UV Resistance and Weatherability

UV resistance represents the ability of a material to resist ultraviolet (UV) light present in sunlight. UV light, or sunlight, will cause non-resistant materials and surfaces to fade, discolor and degrade unprotected materials. Weatherability is the way that a material endures or resists exposure to weather. This encompasses moisture as well as temperature, UV and radiation.
