antioxidants and UV stabilizers for polymers

Polymers in this section include r-PVC, f-PVC, POM, PA, PC, PBT, PET, PMMA, ABS, PS, UPES, PU flexible foam, PU micro-cellular foam, TPU, elastomers, TPE and synthetic rubber.

Antioxidants are used for anti-aging, and vitamin has anti-oxidation functions. when it comes to industry,  certain antioxidants work for the same purpose.  the antioxidant as used to improve polymers’ high-temperature also long-term stability. Except for the heat, products are exposed to light in most cases, no matter its direct sunlight or light from the lamp. Thus UV protection for polymers is vital,  otherwise, the products could crack,  yellowing, and delamination due to  UV light degradation. UV stabilizers contain two groups, the first is Ultraviolet Light Absorbers, also known as UVA or UV absorbers, the second group is Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers which are known as HALS or light stabilizers. They are used individually or as blends. UV absorber filters harmful UV light and helps prevent color change and delamination of coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Light Stabilizers trap free radicals once they are formed and are effective in retaining surface properties such as gloss and preventing cracking and chalking of paints. The combination of these two families is highly synergistic.
