What are the effects of sand abrasion on synthetic rattan bench finishes?
Sand abrasion can significantly impact the appearance and longevity of synthetic rattan bench finishes. Over time, exposure to blowing sand or abrasive particles can cause micro-scratches, dullness, and even peeling of the protective coating. This wear reduces the bench's resistance to UV rays and moisture, accelerating degradation. To mitigate damage, regular cleaning and applying a UV-resistant sealant can help maintain the finish. Choosing high-quality, abrasion-resistant synthetic rattan is also key for outdoor furniture in sandy environments.
