TINUVIN® 99-2’s very high thermal stability and environmental permanence makes it suitable for coatings exposed to high bake cycles and/or extreme environmental conditions.

TINUVIN® 99-2 is recommended for applications such as:

• Trade sales paints, especially wood stains, and clear varnishes
• General industrial applications
• High-bake industrial systems (e.g. coil coatings)

The performance provided by TINUVIN® 99-2 is enhanced when used in combination with a HALS stabilizer such as TINUVIN® 292 or TINUVIN® 123. These combinations improve the durability of coatings by inhibiting or retarding the occurrence of failures such as gloss reduction, cracking, chalking, color change, blistering, and delamination.

Should the self color of TINUVIN® 99-2 be an issue, it is recommended to test TINUVIN® 384-2 as a potential alternative.

The amount of TINUVIN® 99-2 required for optimum performance should be determined in trials covering a concentration range.
