Polymers are ubiquitous in modern life, but their susceptibility to degradation from ultraviolet (UV) radiation presents a significant challenge. Understanding how UV absorbers work is crucial for selecting the right additive to ensure product longevity and performance. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides essential solutions in this domain.

UV absorbers are chemical compounds designed to filter out harmful UV light. They operate on the principle of absorbing UV photons and then dissipating the absorbed energy harmlessly, typically as heat. This process interrupts the photodegradation cascade, which can otherwise lead to chain scission, cross-linking, and the formation of undesirable by-products within the polymer. The effectiveness of a UV absorber is often quantified by its extinction coefficient and its compatibility with the polymer matrix.

JADEWIN UV 120, a substituted benzoate, is a prime example of an effective UV absorber. Its chemical composition, 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenyl 3,5-di-tert-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate, allows it to efficiently absorb UV radiation. A notable characteristic is its superior initial color compared to other UV absorber classes, making it suitable for applications where color neutrality is a requirement. Furthermore, JADEWIN UV 120 exhibits a synergistic effect when combined with Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS), creating a more potent protective system for polymers.

The practical applications for JADEWIN UV 120 are vast, covering polymers such as Polypropylene, Polyethylene, PVC, and EVA. Its use in outdoor applications and specifically in TPO bumpers highlights its role in enhancing the durability of materials exposed to weathering. For instance, its incorporation into polypropylene can significantly improve its resistance to UV-induced aging.

For businesses seeking to purchase JADEWIN UV 120 or other advanced polymer additives, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers a reliable supply chain and expert technical support. By understanding the science behind UV absorption and the benefits of synergistic stabilization, manufacturers can make informed decisions to protect their plastic products and ensure their performance meets or exceeds expectations.
