- Applications
- The main application of UV-81 is in combination with a hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) for the light stabilization of low density and linear low-density polyethylene as well as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers for agricultural films.
- It can be used as well as a UV barrier to protect the contents of packages for both industrial and consumer applications. Also, in combination with HALS, UV-81 can be used in high density polyethylene molded articles, e.g. in crates.
- UV-81 also protects a number of other polymers against degradation caused by light exposure such as plasticized PVC and rubbers.
- UV-81 significantly improves the resistance of clear coatings to failures upon exposure to sunlight such as discoloration, cracking, loss of gloss and loss of adhesion.
- Its performance in outdoor applications can be improved further by use in synergistic combination with a hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) such as LS-292 or LS-123.
