Chemical Resistance
High-density polyethylene has a high resistance to most acids and chemicals. Plastic Lumber is
not affected by exposure to most substances.
Ultraviolet Weathering
An ultraviolet stabilizer is also incorporated at the time of manufacture, which protects the
plastic from ultraviolet light degradation. This insures that the outside of the product will not
degrade in exterior applications.
Creep Data
Creep data show the deflection amount in percent strain from a load being applied to a specimen of
plastic lumber over time. Reinforced Plastic Lumber has much lower deflection when a load is first
applied and also has much reduced deflection over time with the load applied. This makes the
reinforced lumber product much superior in applications that have higher structural demands.
