How does PVC handle exposure to outdoor cooking fumes?
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a widely used plastic material known for its durability and versatility. When exposed to outdoor cooking fumes, PVC generally exhibits good resistance to heat and chemical byproducts, such as grease or smoke. However, prolonged exposure to high temperatures (above 140°F/60°C) may cause softening or deformation. PVC is also resistant to most common cooking-related chemicals, but acidic or oily residues might require regular cleaning to maintain its integrity. For outdoor kitchen applications, UV-stabilized PVC is recommended to prevent degradation from sunlight. Always ensure proper ventilation to minimize fume buildup around PVC surfaces.
