UV Absorbers
Mayzo provides a variety of UV absorbers, which are useful to protect
adhesives, plastics, coatings, and elastomers from the damaging effects
of outdoor weathering that result from exposure to ultraviolet light.
As their name implies, these additives function by competitive absorption
of damaging UV light. Combinations of UV absorbers with other kinds of
light stabilizers (for example hindered amine light stabilizers, or HALS)
are often used in order to attain the best resistance to weathering.
BLS 234
Solid, high molecular weight benzotriazole UV absorber with very low
volatility
Recommended for use in engineering plastics processed at high temperatures
such as polycarbonate
Excellent choice for content protection when used in PET packaging
FDA-cleared* for use in polycarbonate and PET in food contact applications
Useful in coatings cured at high temperatures (e.g. coil and powder
coatings), especially in combination with hindered amine light stabilizers
such as BLS 292
BLS 1326
Solid benzotriazole UV absorber with slightly red shifted UV absorbance
vs. other products
Useful for the stabilization of polyolefins and other plastics
FDA-cleared* for use in olefin polymers in food contact applications
BLS 5411
Solid benzotriazole UV absorber
Higher molecular weight, less volatile alternative to BLS® 1710
Useful for the light stabilization of polycarbonate (especially extrusion
grades), acrylics, styrenic polymers, rigid PVC, and unsaturated polyesters
FDA-cleared* for use in polycarbonate in food contact applications
BLS 531
Solid benzophenone UV absorber useful for the light stabilization of
polyethylene, flexible PVC, unsaturated polyesters, and industrial coatings
FDA-cleared* for use in olefin polymers in food contact applications
BLS 1328
Solid benzotriazole UV absorber for general purpose use as a light stabilizer
in adhesives, plastics, coatings, and elastomers
FDA-cleared* for use in adhesives in food contact applications
BLS 1710
Solid benzotriazole UV absorber useful for the light stabilization of
acrylics, styrenic polymers, rigid PVC, and unsaturated polyesters
FDA-cleared* for use in rigid PVC, polystyrene, and rubber-modified
polystyrene for use in food contact applications
BLS 8020
Solid blend of benzotriazole and benzophenone UV absorbers useful for
the light stabilization of polyolefins, acrylics, and unsaturated polyesters
