- Applications
BLS 3035 is a highly effective to improve the light stability of a wide range of plastics, including styrenic polymers (ABS, ASA, HIPS, TPE’s), PVC (rigid and flexible), polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, and acrylics. The product is also useful as a light stabilizer in adhesives and coatings applications. Due to its inherently non-discoloring nature, BLS 3035 is ideal for use in transparent or light-colored substrates. It is also non-interacting with reactive monomers (e.g. isocyanates) and metal-based polymerization catalysts. It is also suitable for use in combination with optical brighteners.
- Guidelines for Use
Typical recommended loading levels range between about 0.1 and 2% by weight, depending upon the substrate, processing conditions, end use, and other performance requirements. Combinations with other light stabilizers such as HALS and benzoates often show enhanced performance. The exact formulation to be used is dependent on the substrate, performance requirements, and other factors, and should be determined by the user based on testing to simulate actual conditions of use.
