It is made of (very thin) ultra-materials which have a non-atomic structure, and would likely survive solar surface temperatures, probably for quite a long while. Any stealth properties of any surviving skin will probably go pretty fast.I'm going to swing in here and say that dropping anything into the sun is a pretty effective way of destroying it. This also applies to handwavium structures.
Unless both Eris and Murphy gang-up on you, I think you can be pretty confident this will work.
