UV Light Stabilizer Masterbatch
Protects polymers against the effects of sunlight, UV rays, heat, and oxygen; improves the product’s appearance and service life.
As good as new, even under the sun.
Degradation is an undesirable process in most polymer applications. It usually alters the chemical and physical structure of the polymer, resulting in the loss of many useful properties. UV degradation of polymers can adversely affect molecular weight, impact strength, elongation at break, gloss, and color. Incorporating UV stabilizers can significantly slow the onset of such damage.
Adding UV masterbatch to the polymer blend improves the product’s appearance, aesthetics, and overall service life. UV additives combat the deterioration that polymers can undergo under the effects of sunlight, UV rays, heat, reaction with oxygen, or fluorescent light.
Features and benefits
-
UV protection
Protects the polymer against harmful UV rays; prevents fading, embrittlement, and physical deterioration on the product surface.
