Many plastic products are visually pleasing when first released from production lines, being colorful and with reliable properties. After a year spent outside, however, they will turn out to look totally different, having changed their color by becoming yellowish, faded, fragile, cracked, and even breakable with bending.
The problem, as a rule, does not lie in the resin, but in the system of its UV-protection.
As a supplier of functional masterbatches with American technology and about 20 years of experience in the industry, we know very well that the requirements to masterbatch UV protection vary totally from region to region, altitude and period of life span of the product. The system which is efficient in Europe would hardly work in the Middle East. Masterbatch for packaging does not provide the necessary UV-protection in case of outdoor application.
This is the reason why we do not produce a universal product, but manufacture different grades of masterbatch uv stabilizer.
Let down ratio: 2-6%
Carrier: PE, PP, TPU, PC, EVA, etc.
MFI:5-50g/10min
Mositure:＜0.3%
High dispersion
High effective content
High batch stability
Quantity per bag/box: 25Kg/500-1000KG
Weight per box (kg) : 8-10kg
Wooden fumigated pallets: 15-20KG
20-foot container: weight＜ 20T; the exact quantity depends on the type of masterbatch.
40-foot container: weight＜28T; the exact quantity depends on the type of masterbatch.
UV Masterbatch is an additive masterbatch which helps disperse high amounts of UV absorbers, HALS (hindered amine light stabilizers), and other protective additives in a resin carrier. This material is used in order to protect against fading, chalking, cracking, and degradation of physical properties due to ultraviolet radiation in plastics.
Different kinds of uv stabilizer masterbatch or anti uv masterbatch can be applied for various purposes.
The artificial grass will be under the influence of sunshine, rain, and heat for an extended period of time, and therefore, it is one of the toughest applications for masterbatch uv. In case there is not enough weather resistance in the system, then the blades of grass may get discolored, fragile, or even get broken. The UV rays differ from country to country, and therefore we usually provide a tailor-made formula for the masterbatch uv.
The PP interlocking floor tiles are extensively used in outdoor sports courts, kindergarten floors, and stadium floors. Not only do these products have to retain their colors but they should also not crack or chalk even after being exposed to prolonged sunlight. Our uv stabilizer masterbatch has excellent compatibility with different types of color masterbatches and retains both color integrity and weatherability.
FIBC bags are widely used in the chemicals industry, mining and cement, and many of these products have to be stored outside for an extended period of time. UV rays speed up the process of aging of the PP flat yarn, lower the tensile strength, and raise the possibility of the bag tearing. Depending on different transportation cycles and life cycle demands, we can provide different grades of the anti uv masterbatch to make you reach the compromise between requirements and cost.
We usually suggest adding 1%-5%. Depending on the thickness of products, resin type, time of usage outdoors, and UV levels.
Usually, it doesn’t. We modify the formula according to various color systems, so that masterbatch uv would not influence the original color of the product.
Usually, we don’t. PP and PE age differently, so we develop different formulas for uv stabilizer masterbatch.
No. The plastics will definitely age eventually. uv masterbatch effectively delays the aging and improves its color retention and life span.
In case if the product is used indoors near windows and is subjected to sunlight or color stability is required for long term, we advise you to use some amount of anti uv masterbatch too.
The best practice would be to provide us with resin type, product usage, market requirement, required service life and UV testing method. We will then suggest a tailor-made masterbatch estabilizador uv rather than a standard formulation.
