Applications

TINUVIN® 5060 is a versatile light stabilizer that can be used in a variety of coatings systems such as:

• Wood stains and varnishes, wood care products, waxes
• Architectural coatings (roof tiles, walls, floor coatings)
• General Industrial Paints
• Heavy duty maintenance and marine coatings
• Glass and ceramic coatings (architectural glazing, packaging)
• Adhesives and bonding layers

Its use is especially recommended for clear and light pigmented systems like:

• Thermoplastics (Acrylics, Vinylics)
• Acid-catalyzed paints (Acrylic, PES/melamine)
• Oxidative drying systems (Alkyds, oils, waxes)

The broad UV absorbance of the used UVA of TINUVIN® 5060 makes it suitable for a wide range of coatings for wood, plastics, and metal. The non-basic character of the used NOR HALS prevents possible interactions with acidic paint ingredients such as catalysts, biocides, and pigments. The synergistic combination imparts superior coating protection against gloss reduction, cracking, blistering, delamination, and color change and provides full substrate protection.
