PossibleUV degradation and polymer brittleness
PossibleMicroplastic shedding during use
Where these two actually differ
- We flag UV degradation and polymer brittleness on the Ande and not on the Ande.
- Both carry a flag for Microplastic shedding during use, so neither choice avoids it.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
