Sunvin 21 is a benzotriazole type UV absorber. Characterized by its strong, broad range UV absorption property, UV-P brings an excellent photostability to polymers against UV light exposure in many ways i.e. retarding color yellowing , preventing embrittlement, maintaining of mechanical properties etc. UV-P is particularly effective in styrenic polymers, PVC, unsaturated polyesters, polyurethanes, acrylic polymers and polycarbonates.

    Features & Benefits

    Labeling Claims
    Features
    • Very high photostability for its strong ability to absorb light especially in UV region(270-340nm)
    • 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.
