Light Stabilizer UV-866: A Highly Effective Ultraviolet Absorber for a Wide Range of Applications

INNO SPECIALTY CHEMICALS, a leading manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals based in China, is proud to offer their latest product, Light Stabilizer UV-866. This advanced ultraviolet absorber is designed to protect various materials, especially plastics, from the harmful effects of UV radiation, such as color fading, embrittlement, cracking, and degradation.

The use of plastics and other synthetic materials has become ubiquitous in modern life, from consumer products, packaging, automotive and construction materials, to medical devices and electronics. However, these materials are prone to degradation when exposed to sunlight and other sources of UV radiation, which can lead to reduced performance, visual defects, and premature failure. Therefore, the incorporation of UV stabilizers, such as UV-866, is essential for maintaining the quality and durability of these materials.

UV-866 belongs to a class of compounds known as hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), which are highly effective in scavenging free radicals and other reactive species generated by UV radiation. Unlike traditional UV absorbers that absorb UV light and dissipate the energy as heat, HALS act as radical traps that inhibit the chain reaction of degradation initiated by UV radiation. This mechanism allows them to provide long-lasting and broad-spectrum protection against UV-induced damage.

One of the outstanding features of UV-866 is its versatility and compatibility with various polymers and formulations. It can be used in both water-based and solvent-based systems, as well as in combination with other stabilizers, such as UV absorbers, antioxidants, and metal deactivators. UV-866 is particularly effective in polyolefins, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, which are widely used in packaging, agriculture, and automotive applications. It can also be used in engineering plastics, such as polycarbonate, acrylics, and polyamides, which are used in high-performance applications, such as electronics, medical devices, and aerospace.

In addition to its excellent performance, UV-866 is also characterized by its low volatility, low migration, and low color contribution, which are critical factors in many applications. Its high thermal stability and resistance to hydrolysis and oxidation make it suitable for outdoor and high-temperature applications. Moreover, UV-866 is compliant with various regulations and standards, such as FDA, RoHS, REACH, and UL.

To summarize, Light Stabilizer UV-866 is a highly effective and versatile ultraviolet absorber that provides long-lasting and broad-spectrum protection against UV-induced degradation in various materials, especially plastics. Its unique mechanism of action as a radical trap, coupled with its low volatility, low migration, and low color contribution, make it an ideal choice for many applications. INNO SPECIALTY CHEMICALS is committed to delivering high-quality and innovative solutions to meet the needs of their customers worldwide.
