- Applications
BLS 99-2 is a liquid UV absorber providing excellent protection against ultraviolet degradation in coatings, including automotive and industrial coatings, paints, and wood stains. It is ideal for use in both water- and solvent-based systems. Combinations of BLS 99-2 with hindered amine light stabilizers such as BLS 292 often provide significantly enhanced performance, providing maximum long-term protection against blistering, color change, cracking, gloss reduction, and delamination.
- Guidelines for Use
Typical recommended use levels in coatings range between 0.5% and 3.0% based on total solids. The exact amount 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. The dispersion of BLS 99-2 in waterborne coatings may be facilitated by dilution with a water miscible solvent. Please contact Mayzo for specific recommendations.
