Resin

Published on Updated on MAINTENANCE by Dan Wu

Resin (also known as polypropylene - PP), is a lightweight, long-lasting, non-toxic, antistatic and weatherproof material. It is also treated with anti-UV agents, and is uniformly coloured with non-toxic pigments.

There are several types of resin:
• Polypropylene
• Polypropylene with the addition of fibreglass (also called polypropylene fibreglass)
• Recycled polypropylene with the addition of fibreglass (also called regenerated polypropylene fibreglass)

Clean & Maintenance

  • Wash the product with water to remove any surface dirt and dust.
  • Spray the surface with a mild soapy water or a non-aggressive universal cleaning detergent.
  • Leave the detergent to work for a few minutes, then wipe and wash off with a damp cloth or sponge.
  • Use a soft toothbrush to gently remove remaining dirt on the product.
  • Rinse with water and dry with a dry cloth.
  • Like all outdoor furniture, these products will keep their new appearance longer if they are protected from the elements by using an outdoor protective cover when not in use.

Warning

When cleaning, do not use aggressive chemical detergents and/or abrasive materials that may scratch the surface. For dark-coloured products (black, charcoal/anthracite, brown etc.), we recommend placing them in shaded or covered area, to best preserve their colour over time.
