How does PVC outdoor seating resist hydrolysis in humid conditions?
PVC outdoor seating is highly resistant to hydrolysis, even in humid conditions, due to its unique chemical structure. Unlike natural materials, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) does not absorb moisture, preventing the breakdown of polymer chains that typically occurs with hydrolysis. The material's synthetic composition and added stabilizers further enhance its ability to withstand prolonged exposure to humidity, making it an ideal choice for durable outdoor furniture. Additionally, PVC's non-porous surface inhibits mold and mildew growth, ensuring long-lasting performance in wet or damp environments. This resistance to hydrolysis makes PVC a reliable option for outdoor seating in tropical or rainy climates.
