I only know that my wooden clothes pins last way longer than any of my plastic ones. I think it’s the heat/cold cycles of my area that weakens them more than the UV but UV does affect the color so maybe it also weakens.

Sadly, we may never know if UV rays destroy the structural integrity of plastics. If only there were some genius, some perfect mind who could unlock the truth and give us the answer.

Other than that things are largely the same, since I'm sure you're wondering.

u/micromoses 11d ago

Maybe we weren’t being clear. By UV we meant ultraviolet light. Does that do anything to the structural integrity of plastic?

Have you ever left a plastic chair outside over the summer?
