Achieving maximum protection and longevity for coatings against UV radiation often requires a synergistic approach. While UV absorbers like UV Absorber 1130 are highly effective at absorbing UV light, their performance can be further amplified when combined with other stabilization technologies, most notably Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS). NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a dedicated supplier of advanced coating additives, highlights the importance of these synergistic combinations.

UV Absorber 1130, a benzotriazole-based UV absorber, functions by absorbing UV radiation and dissipating the energy as heat. This protects the coating binder and pigments from photodegradation. However, even the most effective UV absorbers can eventually be depleted or may not provide complete protection against all forms of UV-induced damage, particularly free radicals generated during photo-oxidation. This is where HALS come into play.

HALS do not absorb UV light. Instead, they act as radical scavengers. They possess a unique cyclic amine structure that allows them to quench the free radicals formed within the polymer matrix during UV exposure. This process involves a catalytic cycle where the HALS molecule is regenerated, providing long-term protection even at low concentrations. When you buy UV Absorber 1130 and pair it with appropriate HALS, you create a dual-action protection system.

The synergy between UV Absorber 1130 and HALS is well-documented. The UV absorber shields the coating by blocking incoming UV radiation, reducing the initial formation of radicals. The HALS then neutralize any radicals that may still form or are generated by other degradation pathways. This combined approach significantly enhances the coating's resistance to weathering, gloss loss, color change, and mechanical failure, such as cracking and delamination. For procurement managers, understanding this synergy is key to optimizing their formulation’s performance and value.

Our role as a UV Absorber 1130 manufacturer and supplier is to provide the foundational UV protection. We work with formulators to help them integrate our products effectively. For instance, selecting the right type and concentration of HALS to complement UV Absorber 1130 depends on the specific coating system, intended application, and expected environmental exposure. We encourage R&D scientists to contact us for a quote and to discuss optimal additive packages.

By strategically combining UV Absorber 1130 with HALS, formulators can achieve superior, long-lasting protection for their coatings. This integrated approach ensures that products not only look good but also perform reliably under demanding environmental conditions.
