Product Technical Details

Product Overview

UV Absorber 234 is a high-efficiency benzotriazole-type ultraviolet absorber specifically engineered to protect polymers from degradation caused by UV radiation. Chemically known as 2-(2H-Benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(2-phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol, this compound offers exceptional thermal stability and compatibility with a wide range of resin systems. As a critical additive in the plastics industry, it functions by absorbing harmful UV light and dissipating the energy as harmless heat, thereby preventing yellowing, cracking, and loss of mechanical properties in end products.

Our manufacturing process ensures high purity levels, making this product an ideal choice for demanding applications where long-term weatherability is essential. Whether used in automotive components, outdoor construction materials, or packaging films, UV Absorber 234 provides reliable protection against environmental stressors.

Industrial Applications

UV Absorber 234 is versatile and compatible with numerous polymer matrices. It is particularly effective in the following materials:

  • Polypropylene (PP) and Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)
  • Hard Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Polyoxymethylene (POM)
  • Polyamides (PA) and Polycarbonates (PC)
  • Polyesters (PBT/PET) and Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA)

This broad compatibility makes it a preferred drop-in replacement for formulators seeking to enhance the lifespan of plastic products exposed to sunlight. Its low volatility ensures it remains within the polymer matrix during high-temperature processing, maintaining protection throughout the product lifecycle.

Storage and Handling

UV Absorber 234 is classified as non-dangerous goods for transport. It is non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-corrosive, ensuring safe handling in industrial environments. For optimal storage stability, keep the material in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. The standard packaging consists of cardboard drums lined with plastic bags, with a net weight of 25kg per drum, though custom packaging solutions are available upon request.

As a professional supplier of functional material additives, we provide comprehensive support including Certificates of Analysis (COA) and technical data sheets. Our commitment to quality ensures that every batch meets the rigorous demands of the rubber, plastic, coating, and textile industries.
