CYASORB UV-3638 is a highly efficient and non-staining UV absorber, which is distinguishied by its superiorly low volatility, and its strong & broad range of UV light absorption together with no color contribution & excellent stabilization for polymers. White UV-3638 is designed to meet the demanding high temperature requirements for processing engineering plastics such as Nylon, PC,PET,PBT and PPO. UV-3638 is also highly effective in other poymers such as polyamides, polyacetals, polyolefins fibers, styrenics, elastomers where long term permanet UV light stability is required.

White powder

Cyasorb 3638 offers very strong and broad UV absorption with no color contribution. Possesses very good stabilization for polyesters(PET) and polycarbonates(PC).3638 is based on a benzoxaxinone structure which delivers a short-term heat stability up to 350 °C and a long term heat stability up to 160 °C.
UV 3638 is ideal for film/sheet/plate applications such as solar cell, window film, etc.

UV-3638 can be readily incorporated in the polymers within the dosage range of 0.1-10% by weight through conventional techniquire such as powder, solution, or melt blending(e.g. extrusion compounding). It can be used alone or in a variety of blends and combinations with antioxidants, phosphites and other light stabilizers where often a synergistic performance is observed. Basically, the dosage level for UV-3638 can be expectd to be 1/3 of the exsited benzotriazole type UV absorbers with the nearly same efficency of UV screenning.
Engineering plastics (Nylone/plycarbonate/PET/PBT/PPO/PPS..etc)
Because of it's superior heat resistance, so its volatility is extremely low during the processing of engineering plastics at temperatures above 300°C. Also, it offering a very strong & broad UV absorption with no color contribution and exllent stabilzation. so it will allow the recycling or reworking of scrap without significant lowss of the UV light stability. UV-3638 meets the stringent requirement of applications where light transmission and optical properties are critical.
Other polymers
Because of its high absorptivity in the range of 300-360nm, plus its extremely low volatility, assures maximal resistance to UV light degradation even during long term indoor and out door exposure.
