adjective

1. capable of withstanding or protecting against ultraviolet radiation without degradation or damage

The term UV-resistant is widely used in Brazilian consumer products, especially sunscreens, outdoor furniture, and automotive products. Given Brazil's tropical climate and high sun exposure, UV-resistant products are heavily marketed as essential for skin and material protection. In the USA, similar emphasis is placed on UV protection, particularly in coastal and southern regions. The term is increasingly common in both markets as awareness of skin cancer and material degradation grows.
