Alan's sentence simply spelled out what "UVI" actually means.

Thanks Tim, that was the intention.
Unfortunately Franz missed (or mis-read) the point.

Nope. Decidedly not.
You said:
"ultraviolet inhibiting [UVI/EVA]"

That was an erroneous phrase, as I have tried to point out more than
once now.

But the "UVI" in "UVI/EVA" *stands for* "ultraviolet inhibited".

You are arguing with the people who invented the terminology.

As far as I can see, they have a watertight position - since the
polythene is manufactured by mixing in a chemical that inhibits
the effects of ultra-violet light.
