Definition
The ability of a material or product to withstand the damaging effects of exposure to outdoor elements such as sunlight, moisture, temperature changes, and wind without losing its functional performance.
Etymology
Derived from the English word 'weather' (meaning the state of the atmosphere) combined with the suffix '-ability' (indicating the capacity to undergo an action). It emerged in technical contexts during the 20th century to describe the durability of materials in outdoor environments.
In the news
In the article, the industry is shifting its focus toward developing radiative cooling materials that maintain their effectiveness over time by improving their weatherability against factors like ultraviolet exposure and corrosion.
