UV-P: A High-Performance UV Absorber for Engineering Plastics
Engineering plastics are chosen for their superior mechanical properties and performance under demanding conditions. However, their resilience can be significantly compromised by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, leading to premature failure. To combat this, high-performance UV stabilizers are essential. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a leading supplier of specialty chemicals, highlights the pivotal role of UV Absorber UV-P (CAS 2440-22-4) in preserving the integrity and functionality of engineering plastics.
UV Absorber UV-P, chemically identified as 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-p-cresol, is a sophisticated UV absorber that efficiently filters out damaging UV rays, typically between 270-380 nm. This absorption mechanism prevents photo-oxidation and photo-degradation, which can cause embrittlement, discoloration, and loss of strength in plastics. The high purity (≥99%) of the UV-P supplied by NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that manufacturers can rely on its consistent performance, a critical factor when formulating advanced materials. For procurement managers in the engineering plastics sector, securing a consistent supply of high-quality UV-P from a reputable source like our company in China is a strategic advantage.
Engineering plastics such as polycarbonates, polyesters, polyamides, and ABS are frequently used in applications requiring high strength, thermal stability, and aesthetic appeal, often in outdoor or high-light environments. Examples include automotive exterior components, electrical housings, construction materials, and glazing. In these applications, UV-P provides crucial protection, maintaining the mechanical properties and appearance of the plastic over time. Its low volatility and good thermal stability also make it suitable for melt processing at elevated temperatures typical for many engineering plastics.
When considering where to buy UV-P for your engineering plastic formulations, it is vital to partner with a supplier that understands the technical requirements and offers competitive pricing. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality. Our extensive experience as a manufacturer and supplier means we can offer reliable product availability and technical support to help you optimize your formulations. Purchasing UV-P from us ensures you receive a product designed for demanding applications.
The typical dosage of UV-P in engineering plastics varies depending on the specific polymer, its thickness, and the intended service environment, generally ranging from 0.1% to 1.0%. It can be effectively used alone or in combination with other stabilizers, such as Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS), for enhanced long-term performance. By integrating UV-P into your product development, you significantly boost the resilience of your engineering plastics against UV degradation, ensuring your products meet the highest standards of durability and performance. Choose NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. as your trusted supplier for high-quality UV Absorber UV-P.
