What role do additives play in enhancing resin’s durability for outdoor sculptures?
Additives play a crucial role in improving the durability of resin used in outdoor sculptures. UV stabilizers protect the material from sun damage, preventing discoloration and brittleness. Antioxidants slow down degradation caused by oxidation, while plasticizers enhance flexibility to withstand temperature fluctuations. Hydrophobic additives repel moisture, reducing cracks and warping. Together, these additives ensure that resin sculptures remain vibrant and structurally sound despite harsh weather conditions, making them ideal for long-term outdoor display.
