Uses
DXSORB 2908 (Hexadecyl 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate; UV Absorber 2908) is an excellent light stabilizer, low volatility, small coloring, good chemical stability, acid and alkali resistance. Suitable for PP and PE and other polyolefin plastics, the general dosage of 0.25 ~ 0.1%. This product can be used alone or in combination with benzophenone ultraviolet stabilizer or phosphite antioxidant, showing good synergistic effect.
Uses
The product belongs to the class of hindered hydroxybenzoate light stabilizer. UV-2908 is most suitable for the protection of polyolefins, polycarbonate and the systems containing flame retardants and thioesters. It can be used alone or in combination with benzophenone UV stabilizer or phosphite antioxidant, showing good synergistic effect.The dosage of UV-2908 ranges between 0.25% and 1% are recommended for protection. It depends on the substrate and performance requirement of the final application.
benefits
Low volatility, minimal color contribution, good chemical stability, acid and alkali resistant, excellent compatibilty with UV absorbers, HALS, and thioesters, FDA sanctioned to 0.5% in polyolefins
