What are the effects of prolonged exposure to acidic fruits on WPC sculptures?
Prolonged exposure to acidic fruits can significantly damage WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) sculptures. The acids in fruits like lemons, oranges, or pineapples react with the composite materials, causing discoloration, surface erosion, and structural weakening over time. WPC, while durable, is not immune to chemical degradation. The plastic components may become brittle, and the wood fibers can break down, compromising the sculpture's integrity. To preserve WPC art, avoid direct contact with acidic substances and clean surfaces promptly if exposed. Protective coatings or sealants can also help mitigate damage. Understanding these effects ensures better care and longevity for WPC sculptures.
