More Information
Light stabilizers are additives used to protect materials such as plastics, coatings, and textiles from the harmful effects of UV radiation. Exposure to sunlight can lead to degradation and discoloration of these materials, compromising their appearance and mechanical properties.
Light stabilizers serve as a shield against UV radiation, preventing premature aging and degradation of the material. They work by absorbing UV light and dissipating it as harmless heat or by inhibiting the photochemical reactions that cause degradation. Incorporating light stabilizers into formulations ensures the longevity and aesthetic appeal of the final product, maintaining its color, strength, and overall performance even under prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Common types of light stabilizers include:
•UV absorbers
•Hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS)
•Quenchers
