heat resistance
Withstands high temperatures
Heat resistance is the ability to withstand high temperatures without degrading, melting, or losing function.
Materials with heat resistance—certain ceramics, metals, and synthetic fibers—maintain their properties under thermal stress: The cookware's heat resistance makes it safe for oven use.
Heat-resistant is the adjective form: heat-resistant gloves, heat-resistant paint.
