What are the temperature limits for safe use of polyethylene outdoor armchairs?
Polyethylene outdoor armchairs are popular for their durability and weather resistance, but their performance can vary with temperature. Generally, these chairs can safely withstand temperatures between -30°F (-34°C) and 140°F (60°C). Below -30°F, the plastic may become brittle and prone to cracking, while prolonged exposure above 140°F can cause warping or softening. For optimal longevity, avoid leaving polyethylene chairs in extreme heat or cold for extended periods. Choose high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for better temperature resistance, and store chairs indoors during harsh weather to extend their lifespan. Always check manufacturer guidelines for specific recommendations.
