    Features & Benefits

    Advantages

    *Very high photostability for its strong ability to absorb light especially in UV region(290~400nm).
    *Odorless,does not bring smells to the polymers.
    *Very stable to heat, and can be used in plastics which require high processing temperature.
    *Low vapor pressure, very little or no loss during processing.
    *Very good compatibility with thermoplastic polymers offering homogeneous distribution during processing.
