Chimassorb® 119 FL is a monomeric, sterically hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS). The main advantage of Chimassorb® 119 FL over other commercial HALS results from its piperidyl-methyl group which reduces some chemical interactions and discoloration. Due to its high molecular weight, Chimassorb® 119 FL provides good polymer bulk protection, has low tendency to migrate and shows low volatility.

Chimassorb® 119 FL contributes significantly to the long-term heat stability of polyolefins.

Applications

Chimassorb® 119 FL is particularly effective in polypropylene, polyethylene, alpha-olefin copolymers and blends with EPR, EPDM, ERR, PE, EVA, EAA, EVOH and filled PP. It can be used in elastomers, e.g. EPDM, SBS, SIS, SEBS, styrenics and a-methyl styrenics, e.g. ABS, SAN, AES, ASA, IPS, SMA blends or alloys of these polymers with others, adhesives, hot melts, flexible and rigid PVC, PVDC, polyurethanes, polyamides, e.g. PA 6, PA 6,6, PA 12, POM (homo and copolymers), PPE, PET, PBT and blends PMMA cast sheets and thermoplastic resins, UPE, PET and PA fibers.

Features & Benefits

Chimassorb® 119 FL shows excellent long-term thermal stability to temperatures up to 150°C, improved resistance to chemical attack and improvement in color stability. Combined with other HALS it gives rise to synergistic mixtures, e.g. Tinuvin® 111.
