How do composite materials improve the resistance of outdoor chairs to fungal growth?
Composite materials significantly improve the resistance of outdoor chairs to fungal growth by combining moisture-resistant properties with enhanced durability. Unlike traditional wood, composites are engineered to repel water, reducing the damp conditions that fungi thrive in. Many composites also incorporate antimicrobial additives, further inhibiting fungal colonization. Their non-porous surfaces prevent moisture absorption, minimizing rot and mold risks. Additionally, composites resist UV degradation, maintaining structural integrity over time. This makes them an ideal choice for long-lasting, low-maintenance outdoor furniture in humid or wet environments.
