What are the effects of prolonged exposure to bleach on resin surfaces?
Prolonged exposure to bleach can significantly damage resin surfaces, leading to discoloration, weakening, and even structural degradation. Bleach, a strong oxidizing agent, breaks down the chemical bonds in resin, causing it to become brittle and lose its original finish. Over time, the surface may develop cracks, yellowing, or a chalky texture. Additionally, repeated use of bleach can strip protective coatings, making the resin more susceptible to further damage. To preserve resin surfaces, opt for milder cleaners like soapy water or specialized resin-safe products. Always test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area first to avoid irreversible harm.
