In the realm of polymer additives, UV absorbers are indispensable for protecting materials from photodegradation. However, the effectiveness of a UV absorber is not solely determined by its UV absorption capacity; its physical properties, particularly its volatility, play a crucial role in its performance, especially in demanding processing environments. For applications involving high temperatures or requiring long-term, stable protection, low-volatility UV absorbers are paramount.

The Challenge of High-Temperature Processing

Many modern polymer processing techniques, such as extrusion, injection molding, and film blowing, operate at elevated temperatures to ensure proper melt flow and material homogenization. During these processes, conventional UV absorbers with low molecular weights or high vapor pressures can volatilize, escaping the polymer matrix. This not only leads to a loss of the additive's protective function but can also cause issues like plate-out on processing equipment, haze in finished products, and worker exposure concerns.

Furthermore, in applications where the final product is exposed to heat or requires long-term outdoor exposure, the retention of the UV absorber within the polymer is critical. If the absorber migrates to the surface or volatilizes over time, the material's resistance to UV damage diminishes, leading to premature failure.

UV Absorber UV-360: A Solution for Demanding Applications

UV Absorber UV-360 (CAS 103597-45-1) stands out as a superior solution to these challenges. Its significantly lower volatility compared to many traditional UV absorbers makes it exceptionally well-suited for high-temperature processing. This characteristic ensures that the additive remains integrated within the polymer throughout manufacturing and end-use, providing consistent and durable UV protection. Its high molecular weight contributes to its reduced volatility and migration resistance, a key benefit for applications demanding extended service life and performance integrity.
