Kosteudenkestäviksi

Kosteudenkestäviksi is the translative plural form of the Finnish adjective kosteudenkestävä, meaning moisture resistant. It is used to indicate that something has been or will be made moisture resistant, or that several items are classified as moisture resistant. For example, "Rakenteet on muutettu kosteudenkestäviksi" describes a change of state toward moisture resistance.

The term describes materials or products designed to withstand exposure to moisture, humidity, condensation, or rain without significant damage or performance loss. The exact level of resistance depends on the product, its intended use, and testing or labeling according to relevant standards. Moisture resistance is often specified in technical documentation and may be validated by standardized tests.

Common contexts include construction materials (wood, metal, concrete, insulation), protective coatings, textiles and fabrics treated for water resistance, electronics enclosures, outdoor furniture, and packaging. In each case, the specification of moisture resistance is tailored to the anticipated environmental conditions and regulatory requirements.

Usage notes: kosteudenkestävä describes a feature, while kosteudenkestäviksi is used in constructions or statements about products being made or classified as moisture resistant. Tests and standards vary by industry; in electronics, for example, protection against moisture may involve ratings like IP classifications, among other criteria.
