In today’s demanding industries, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation remains one of the primary threats to the durability and performance of plastic and rubber materials. Advanced UV Stabilization Solutions by A&D Polymers deliver state-of-the-art protection, formulated to prevent degradation, discoloration, and mechanical failure caused by prolonged UV exposure. Whether for outdoor applications, automotive components, packaging, or construction materials, our UV stabilization technologies ensure your products maintain their integrity and aesthetics over time.

Our solutions are engineered using advanced additive technologies, including HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers), UV absorbers, and synergistic antioxidant packages, offering tailored protection for a wide range of polymer systems.

Functional Properties

Advanced UV Stabilization Solutions offer exceptional performance through a combination of mechanisms:

• UV Absorption: Filters and absorbs harmful UV radiation before it can damage the polymer matrix.

• Radical Scavenging: Neutralizes free radicals formed under UV exposure, preventing chain scission and crosslinking.

• Thermal Stability Enhancement: Reduces thermal degradation that often accompanies UV exposure.

• Improved Color Retention: Minimizes yellowing and maintains original coloration and surface appearance.

• Extended Service Life: Significantly enhances the lifespan of plastics and rubber, even in extreme environmental conditions.

Areas of Application

Our UV stabilization technologies are versatile and find use across numerous industries:

• Automotive: Exterior parts, dashboards, trims, and seals requiring long-term weather resistance.

• Construction: Pipes, profiles, roofing membranes, siding, and outdoor furniture exposed to sunlight.

• Packaging: Agricultural films, outdoor containers, and flexible packaging requiring optical clarity and strength.

• Consumer Goods: Garden equipment, toys, and outdoor appliances that must resist fading and embrittlement.

• Footwear: Soles and uppers of shoes designed for outdoor use, maintaining flexibility and appearance.

• Electronics: Casing and protective components exposed to light and heat sources.
