What are the effects of prolonged exposure to sunscreen oils on PVC tables?
Prolonged exposure to sunscreen oils can have detrimental effects on PVC tables. The oils often contain chemicals like avobenzone or oxybenzone, which can react with the PVC material, leading to surface degradation. Over time, this may cause discoloration, staining, or even softening of the table's surface. Additionally, the oily residue can attract dirt, making the table harder to clean. To minimize damage, it's advisable to wipe off sunscreen spills immediately or use protective covers. Regular maintenance with mild cleaners can also help preserve the table's appearance and longevity.
