What are the effects of saltwater spray on the corrosion resistance of plastic outdoor ottomans?
Saltwater spray can significantly impact the corrosion resistance of plastic outdoor ottomans, especially in coastal environments. While plastic is generally more resistant to corrosion than metal, prolonged exposure to saltwater can cause surface degradation, fading, and weakening of the material over time. High-quality plastics like polyethylene or polypropylene fare better, but cheaper variants may crack or become brittle. To enhance durability, opt for UV-stabilized and salt-resistant plastics, and rinse ottomans regularly to remove salt deposits. Proper maintenance ensures longer lifespan and better performance in harsh conditions.
