- Why Use UV/Light Stabilizer Masterbatches?
- UV stabilizers can be categorized by two general classifications - ultraviolet light absorber (UVA) and hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS). HALS are extremely efficient stabilizers against light- induced degradation of most polymers. They do not absorb UV radiation, but act to inhibit degradation of the polymer. Significant levels of stabilization are achieved at relatively low concentrations. HALS high efficiency and longevity are due to a cyclic process wherein the HALS are regenerated rather than consumed during the stabilization process. UV light is normally defined as being within the region of 280-400nm, while visible light is found within 400-800nm. UV light is then subdivided further into UV-A (the lower wavelengths, peaking around 310nm) and UV-B (slightly higher wavelengths peaking at around 350nm). Sunlight intensity and composition varies according to latitude, atmospheric effects etc. so it is important that the additive (or more normally the combination of additives) is selected to suit the exact application. It is therefore important to identify where in the world a final product will be used and the required life span. Other factors that affect the choice of UV stabilization package include product dimensions, type and color of pigments present and application information such as food or pesticide contact.
- The addition level of AddKan UV Stabilizer Masterbatches depends on the thickness of article, intensity of Sun/UV light, period of exposure and life expectancy required in these conditions.
- AddKan UV Stabilizer Masterbatches are available for specialized applications like green house films. They have UV stabilizers which are resistant to pesticides. Depending upon customer needs we can supply UV stabilized Color Masterbatches also.
