Additives for Polyvinyl Chloride

Chimassorb^® light stabilizing additives prevent the discoloration and degradation of plastic materials. They prevent harmful UV light to start plastics degradation, for example they act as free radical scavengers to maintain the appearance, as well as the chemical and physical properties of the plastics.

Irgastab^® comprises a range of additives for your plastic applications. As a thermal and processing stabilizer, Irgastab^® provides long-term durability and helps to maintain the integrity of polymer properties during processing. As nucleating agent, Irgastab^® increases crystallization temperature and improves the mechanical properties.

Irgastat^® P provides a permanent antidust effect and improves the perceived quality of your application. Antistatic properties again add value especially in monofilament and tape applications.

Irganox^® comprises the broadest range of antioxidants for the use in organic substrates such as plastics, synthetic fibers and elastomers. Irganox^® ensures long-term thermal and process stability in a wide variety of applications.

Tinopal^® Fluorescent Whitening Agent features excellent resistance to heat, exceptional whitening properties, good light fastness and low volatility. It has a brilliant bluish cast, is readily soluble in organic solvents and features good compatibility in various substrates.

BASF’s light stabilizers Tinuvin^® protect plastics parts against all sorts of weather conditions that lead to loss of mechanical properties and discoloration of surfaces.

BASF’s light stabilizers Uvinul^® protect plastic parts against all sorts of weather conditions that lead to loss of mechanical properties and discoloration of surfaces. Uvinul^® can be used for a wide range of polymers.
