UV resistant
Won't fade outside
UV resistant describes materials or coatings that withstand damage from ultraviolet radiation—the component of sunlight that causes fading, cracking, and degradation over time.
Sunglasses, outdoor furniture, and car paint are often marketed as UV resistant: The deck stain is UV resistant, so it won't fade.
The term indicates protection rather than complete immunity.
