Shield™ LST-296 is liquid light stabilizers are effective in a broad range of plastics and can help achieve long-term sustainability goals as in the recycling of plastics. We have products formulated with hindered amines (HALS) and UV absorbers. For certain applications, we offer blends of these two products for improved performance. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun will need the combination of HALS and antioxidants for long-term stability. Polymer photo-oxidation is a combined action of light and oxygen. The visible result of this action is deterioration of the appearance of the polymer as well as mechanical and chemical concerns. Our products can protect against these conditions. We also offer UV absorbers that protect the contents of plastics packaging from ultraviolet rays up to 390 nm.
