In the competitive and technically demanding plastics industry, manufacturers are continuously seeking ways to improve product performance and longevity. A significant threat to the integrity of plastic materials is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can cause degradation, discoloration, and loss of mechanical properties. UV Absorber UV-P, identified by its CAS number 2440-22-4, is a critical additive that addresses these challenges, offering robust UV protection across a wide range of polymers. As a dedicated supplier and manufacturer of specialty chemicals, we aim to educate plastic manufacturers on the indispensable role of UV-P.

Understanding the Functionality of UV Absorber UV-P

UV Absorber UV-P is a high-efficiency additive from the benzotriazole family. Its molecular design allows it to effectively absorb UV radiation within the 290-400 nm spectrum, the wavelength range most detrimental to polymer stability. By absorbing this energy and dissipating it as heat, UV-P shields the polymer matrix from photo-oxidative damage. A key feature that distinguishes UV-P is its minimal absorption of visible light, meaning it imparts excellent UV protection without causing unwanted color or opacity in the final product. This makes it particularly valuable for applications requiring high clarity and aesthetic appeal.

Versatile Applications for Plastic Manufacturers

The broad applicability of UV Absorber UV-P makes it a staple additive for manufacturers working with diverse plastic types. Key application areas include:

  • Polycarbonates (PC) and Acrylics (PMMA): Essential for products like automotive lenses, skylights, and protective shielding that require long-term clarity and impact resistance.
  • PVC: Enhances the outdoor durability and color fastness of PVC profiles used in construction, such as window frames and siding.
  • Styrene Polymers (ABS, PS): Prevents yellowing and surface degradation in consumer electronics, appliances, and automotive interior parts.
  • Polyolefins (PE, PP): Improves the weatherability of outdoor furniture, agricultural films, and packaging.
  • Polyesters and Polyurethanes: Protects resins and coatings used in automotive finishes, industrial coatings, and durable goods.

Procurement managers and R&D teams can confidently buy UV-P knowing its broad compatibility simplifies formulation processes.
