Can UV inhibitors be added post-production to polyethylene bar stools?

Polyethylene bar stools are popular for outdoor use due to their durability and weather resistance. However, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause fading and degradation over time. A common question is whether UV inhibitors can be added post-production to enhance their UV resistance.

The answer is yes, but with limitations. While UV inhibitors are typically incorporated during manufacturing, post-production treatments like UV-resistant sprays or coatings can provide additional protection. These solutions may not be as long-lasting as factory-applied inhibitors but can extend the lifespan of polyethylene bar stools when reapplied periodically.

For optimal results, choose products specifically designed for polyethylene and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and recoating, will help maintain UV protection and keep your bar stools looking new for longer.
