Kapton = Ozone, UV resistant?



In a new static gap I'm working on, the PVC housing will be in close (~1.5")
proximity to the spark gap.  I know that the PVC will turn brown in time
near a spark gap, perhaps increasing the likelihood of surface arcing.  I'm
wondering if an application of  Kapton (polyimide) tape would shield the PVC
from whatever causes this deterioration.  Is Kapton more UV-resistant than
PVC?
