Tinuvin 360 is a very low volatile ultraviolet light absorber (UVA) of the hydroxyphenyl benzotriazole class, imparting outstanding light stability to a variety of polymers.

Applications

Tinuvin 360 applications include acrylic resins, polyalkylene terephthalates, polycarbonates, modified polyphenylene ether or sulfide compounds, polyamides, polyacetals, styrenics, elastomers and various high performance plastics.

Features & Benefits

Tinuvin 360 is particularly suitable for processing and aging conditions where high loads, very low volatility and good compatibility are required. The specific objective is to achieve high UV screen performance and minimize sublimation through vents as well as prevention of deposits on molds, chill rolls or calibrators.

Such requirements are especially critical for complex moldings, fibers, sheets, twin wall sheets, thin films and laminated or co-extruded semifinished articles.

Depending on equipment, processing conditions, and polymer types, Tinuvin 360 allows direct two-layer co-extrusion of sheets without the use of a neutral third top layer to prevent sublimation and/or deposits generated by the thin, highly UVA-loaded second layer.
