Masterbatch is added to the chemical compounds in the manufacturing process of different plastic products. UV Masterbatch is added in order to protect the different plastic products from harmful UV radiation, making them much more resilient and durable.
In this article, we will talk about UV Masterbatch. What is it, what does it do, how it is helpful and why every plastic manufacturer needs to combine it in the manufacturing process.
UV Masterbatch helps the plastic product block the absorption of harmful UV radiation. By doing that, the UV Masterbatch is assuring excellent performance and stabilizes the mechanical properties, along with the elongation of any plastic product.
Tosaf’s UV Masterbatch is used in plastic products across many different industries, especially for UV resistance. Adding the UV Masterbatch to the manufacturing process of plastic products can also provide better thermal stability and durability properties, as well as UV protection.
Combining UV Masterbatch in different plastic products holds many benefits. The main ones are:
UV Masterbatch is available with concentrations from 10% to 20% using high-quality HALS. This helps protect the polymers against UV degradation and upgrades the production level. High performance UV Masterbatch supplies the optimal UV stability to meet current and upcoming requirements in different plastic products across various industries.
UV radiation, or by its full name Ultraviolet radiation, is defined as the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between x-rays and visible light. The sun is the primary source of UV radiation, which is also natural. There are many artificial sources of this harmful radiation as well. The main ones are mostly fluorescent lights, curing lamps, germicidal lamps, black lights, tanning booths, high-intensity discharge lamps, and more.
UV radiation is very harmful to us human beings, and it can also damage plastic products. The radiation can harm the products and make them change their composition and as a result their natural shape and form. It causes cracking, chalking, color changes, and the loss of physical properties.
Exposure to sunlight and some artificial lights can have a very negative effect on the durability of plastic products. UV radiation causes this effect by breaking down the chemical bonds in a polymer. This process is called photodegradation. In order to neutralize and counteract the damaging effect of UV light, UV Masterbatch is added to the manufacturing process. It is used to solve the degradation problems associated with exposure to UV radiation.
If you ever left a pair of plastic sunglasses in your car on a hot sunny day and they got ruined, now you know why. High temperatures can ruin both the plastic frame and the lenses of your sunglasses. UV radiation can cause the coating on the lens or even the lenses themselves to crack. This rule applies to all plastic products – and that is why it is important to combine UV Masterbatch in the production process. The Masterbatch is protecting the plastic from harmful UV rays, making the products way more durable and resilient.
This unique UV Masterbatch makes the plastic products have a longer life. It does this by protecting the polymers and plastic end-products from UV rays, preventing their degradation in outdoor or direct UV radiation exposure. By adding UV Masterbatch to the manufacturing process of plastic, you can be certain your products will have a long service life while maintaining their color and shape perfectly. Combining UV Masterbatch can also reduce the overall manufacturing cost, as the products become of higher quality and can ultimately last for longer.
In conclusion, UV Masterbatch is added to the manufacturing process of plastic in order to protect the products from harmful UV radiation. Doing that causes them to be more stable, durable, long-lasting, and of higher quality overall. Combining Tosaf’s UV Masterbatch in your plastic products will make them better on many levels, upgrading their durability and service life, by blocking UV radiation with maximum efficiency.
