Weatherability
ABOUT
Why Fluoromaterials are Weather resistant
The binding energy of C-F bonds and C-C bonds is higher than the energy of ultraviolet rays that has a particularly high effect of destroying materials, especially in sunbeams, so sunlight never cuts it. Also, because fluorine atoms cover the carbon atoms without gaps, attack of radicals generated by other materials absorbing ultraviolet rays cannot be compensated.
Therefore, even if the fluorine material is exposed to the sun for a long time, it can keep the same state as the initial state.
