Sunlight is essential for life on earth, but it can also damage various materials when exposed to it for a prolonged period. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause significant damage to polymer materials, such as plastics, rubber, and coatings, leading to discoloration, degradation, and loss of physical properties. To prevent this damage and ensure the longevity of products, manufacturers and suppliers use light stabilizers and UV absorbers in their formulations. One such product is the BASF light stabilizer Tinuvin 5060, a hybrid UV absorber and hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) that offers excellent protection against UV radiation.

BASF Tinuvin 5060 is a compound light stabilizer that consists of two essential components: a 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-benzotriazole UV absorber (UVA) and a hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS). The UV-5060 offers a high degree of protection to polymeric materials and coatings when exposed to UV radiation. The UV-5060 is highly effective in preventing photo-oxidation and UV degradation of various polymers, including polypropylene, polyethylene, polyurethane, and polystyrene.

The hybrid UV absorber and HALS technology in BASF Tinuvin 5060 offers several advantages over conventional light stabilizers. Firstly, the UVA component of UV-5060 absorbs UV radiation in the 300-400 nm range and dissipates the absorbed energy as heat, preventing it from reaching the polymer. Secondly, the HALS component of UV-5060 acts as a radical scavenger, neutralizing free radicals generated by the UV radiation, which can cause chain scission and degradation of the polymer. The combination of both UVA and HALS in UV-5060 provides superior protection against UV radiation compared to using only one type of light stabilizer.

BASF Tinuvin 5060 is an ideal light stabilizer for polymer manufacturers and suppliers who want to ensure their products have long-lasting UV protection. Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of specialty chemicals, produces BASF Tinuvin 5060 in their state-of-the-art facility. Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd. is committed to providing high-quality, cost-effective solutions to their customers, and their production of BASF Tinuvin 5060 is no exception.

The UV-5060 is widely used in various applications, including automotive parts, building materials, coatings, and adhesives. In automotive parts, UV-5060 is added to plastic components, such as bumpers and dashboards, to prevent fading and cracking. In building materials, UV-5060 is used in window profiles, siding, and roofing to maintain the color and appearance of the material. In coatings and adhesives, UV-5060 improves the weatherability and durability of the coating, preventing it from peeling, cracking, or chalking.

BASF Tinuvin 5060 is easy to handle, non-toxic, and compatible with most polymers, making it a versatile light stabilizer for various applications. The UV-5060 is available in different forms, including powder, granules, and liquid, to meet the specific needs of different industries. The UV-5060 is also easy to incorporate into the polymer matrix, either by melt blending or solution blending, ensuring uniform dispersion of the stabilizer throughout the material.

In conclusion, BASF Tinuvin 5060 is a trusted light stabilizer that offers excellent UV protection to various polymeric materials and coatings. The hybrid UV absorber and HALS technology in UV-5060 provide superior protection against UV radiation, preventing discoloration, degradation, and loss of physical properties. Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd. produces BASF Tinuvin 5060 in their advanced facility, ensuring high-quality and cost-effective solutions for their customers. Manufacturers and suppliers can maximize UV protection in their products by using BASF Tinuvin 5060, a reliable light stabilizer that offers exceptional performance and versatility.
