Results for tag: "Antidegradants"

Antidegradants are a type of plastic additive used to protect polymers from degradation caused by environmental factors such as UV radiation, oxidation, and thermal degradation. These additives are typically composed of hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), antioxidants, and UV absorbers. HALS are used to protect polymers from UV radiation, while antioxidants are used to protect against oxidation and thermal degradation. UV absorbers are used to absorb UV radiation and prevent it from reaching the polymer. Antidegradants are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, and packaging. They are used to improve the durability and performance of plastic products, as well as to extend their lifespan. The antidegradants market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a wide range of products. Some of the major players in the market include BASF, Clariant, Evonik, Songwon, and AkzoNobel. Show Less Read more
