Choosing the Right UV Stabilizer: A Guide for Plastic Manufacturers
Selecting the appropriate UV stabilizer is a critical decision for any plastic manufacturer aiming to enhance product durability and longevity. Understanding the properties and applications of different UV absorbers can significantly impact the performance and marketability of your finished goods. Among the array of available solutions, UV Absorber 2908 (CAS 67845-93-6) has emerged as a highly effective and versatile option, particularly for polyolefins and polycarbonates.
As a leading chemical supplier in China, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM is dedicated to assisting businesses in making informed choices. UV Absorber 2908, chemically known as Hexadecyl-3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate, belongs to the benzoate class of UV stabilizers. Its design focuses on scavenging harmful free radicals formed during photodegradation. Key attributes that make it stand out include its low volatility, which ensures it remains integrated within the polymer matrix, providing sustained protection, and its excellent compatibility with other common additives like HALS and antioxidants. This synergy can lead to superior overall stabilization performance.
For procurement managers, understanding the technical specifications is vital. UV Absorber 2908 presents itself as a white to off-white powder, with a typical purity of ≥98.5% and a melting point range of 59-61°C. These precise parameters, along with its low volatile content (≤0.5%), assure consistent processing and predictable results. Furthermore, its FDA sanction for use in polyolefins for indirect food contact applications is a significant advantage, broadening its applicability in sensitive sectors like food packaging.
When considering the purchase of UV stabilizers, manufacturers often look for cost-effectiveness without compromising quality. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM, as a direct manufacturer, offers UV Absorber 2908 at competitive prices, providing an excellent balance between performance and value. Our ability to supply a stable, high-quality product from China ensures that your production lines remain uninterrupted.
The applications for UV Absorber 2908 are extensive. It is particularly effective in protecting polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and thermoplastic olefins (TPO) used in films, fibers, and molded parts. Its ability to absorb UV radiation shields these materials from the yellowing, cracking, and loss of mechanical strength that typically occur with sun exposure. For R&D scientists, exploring its synergistic effects with other stabilizers can unlock even greater levels of protection for advanced material applications.
Navigating the complex landscape of polymer additives requires reliable information and trustworthy suppliers. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM is committed to being that partner. We encourage you to reach out to us for detailed technical data sheets, samples, and a competitive price quote for UV Absorber 2908.
