What are the effects of prolonged exposure to diesel exhaust on PVC tables?
Prolonged exposure to diesel exhaust can significantly impact the durability and appearance of PVC tables. Diesel exhaust contains harmful chemicals like sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can degrade PVC over time. The plasticizers in PVC may break down, leading to surface cracks, discoloration, and reduced structural integrity. Additionally, the acidic nature of diesel exhaust residues can accelerate corrosion and weaken the material. To mitigate these effects, consider using protective coatings or placing PVC tables in well-ventilated areas away from high-exhaust environments. Regular cleaning with mild detergents can also help remove harmful residues and extend the lifespan of PVC tables.
