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.


But the OP did not say what you think he said.
There is a difference between "ultraviolet inhibiting" and
"ultraviolet inhibited". [...]


Not a difference that matters - since UV-inhibited polythene works by
inhibiting UV light. From what I can tell, it prevents it from
damaging the polythene by reflecting most of the incident UV
radiation back.
