UV Absorber UV 384-2

Product Overview

UV Absorber UV 384-2 represents a advanced solution in the field of light stabilization for organic materials. This high-efficiency liquid additive is specifically engineered to protect coatings and polymers from the detrimental effects of ultraviolet radiation. By absorbing harmful UV energy and dissipating it as harmless thermal energy, this product significantly extends the service life of finished products. It is particularly valued in industries where aesthetic retention and structural integrity are paramount, such as automotive finishes and industrial protective coatings.

Technical Specifications

Synergistic Performance

The true potential of UV Absorber UV 384-2 is realized when utilized in combination with hindered amine light stabilizers. Products such as UV-292 or UV-123 work synergistically with this absorber to provide a comprehensive defense mechanism against weathering. This combination effectively inhibits common degradation phenomena including yellowing, cracking, blistering, peeling, and matting. The synergistic effect ensures that clear coats maintain their gloss and clarity over extended periods of exposure to harsh environmental conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for formulators seeking to enhance the durability of high-performance coating systems without compromising on optical properties.

Industrial Applications

Due to its excellent solubility in organic solvents like ethyl acetate and n-hexane, this UV absorber integrates seamlessly into various solvent-based coating formulations. It is widely used in automotive refinish coatings, industrial maintenance paints, and wood protection finishes. The high transmittance values at 460nm and 500nm ensure that the additive does not impart unwanted color to the final product, preserving the intended aesthetic of the coating. Manufacturers rely on this material to meet rigorous quality standards for weather resistance and longevity in outdoor applications.

Storage and Handling

This product is classified as non-dangerous goods, facilitating easier logistics and storage management. It exhibits good storage stability under recommended conditions. To maintain optimal quality, it should be stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated place. Protection from moisture and heat is essential during transportation and warehousing. Avoiding high temperature and humidity ensures that the chemical properties remain stable over time. Standard packaging involves cardboard drums lined with plastic bags, typically with a net weight of 25kg per unit, ensuring safe delivery to global manufacturing facilities.
