Antioxidants are chemical compounds that are added to plastics to prevent or slow down the degradation of the plastic due to oxidation. Types of Antioxidants (Thioester, Organo-phosphite, Hindered phenolic), mainly used during processing of various polymers like PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS, polyester and polyamide etc.
Hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) are chemical compounds that are added to materials to protect them from degradation caused by exposure to light, particularly UV radiation. They are typically used in plastics, coatings, and other materials that are exposed to outdoor or high UV environments. HALS are compatible with a wide range of materials, including polyolefins, PVC, and polycarbonates.
UV absorbers are an important class of additives in the plastics and coatings industries, helping to improve the durability and performance of materials in outdoor and other UV-exposed applications.
