jäätymiskestävää
jäätymiskestävää translates from Finnish to English as "frost-resistant" or "freezing-resistant." This term is used to describe materials or substances that can withstand freezing temperatures without significant damage or degradation. The specific properties and degree of resistance can vary widely depending on the context. For example, frost-resistant concrete is designed to endure cycles of freezing and thawing without cracking or spalling. Frost-resistant paint might be formulated to prevent blistering or peeling when exposed to low temperatures. In the context of plants, frost-resistant varieties are those that can survive sub-zero conditions, often due to physiological adaptations. When discussing liquids, frost-resistant might refer to a mixture, such as antifreeze, that lowers the freezing point of water. The term implies a certain level of durability and ability to maintain structural integrity or functional properties when subjected to cold. Understanding the specific application is key to interpreting the exact meaning of jäätymiskestävää.
