UV Absorbers Extend Plastic Durability Against Light Damage

UV radiation causes plastic deterioration through chain scission, cross-linking, oxidation, and color fading, compromising both appearance and function. UV absorbers act as protective shields by intercepting harmful UV radiation and converting it to harmless heat, with benzotriazoles, benzophenones, and triazines offering tailored protection across packaging, engineering plastics, PVC, and coatings, often enhanced by combination with HALS.
