Wodoodpornoci
Wodoodpornoci is a term used in materials science, referring to a quantitative assessment of a material's or product's resistance to water ingress. It encompasses barrier properties, durability under moisture, and the ability to maintain performance when exposed to water and humidity. The concept is used to compare materials and coatings for their performance in wet conditions.
Etymology: The coinage blends the Polish roots "woda" (water) and "odporność" (resistance), with a suffix "-oci" forming
Measurement: There is no universal standard for wodoodpornoci. Researchers describe it via multiple metrics: hydrostatic pressure
Applications: The metric is used in evaluating consumer electronics enclosures, outdoor gear fabrics, sealants, and building
Standards and debates: Wodoodpornoci intersects with established concepts like IP ratings and WVTR but remains not
