- Applications
BLS 234 is especially suited for polymers processed at high temperatures, such as polycarbonates, polyesters, and others. In polyolefins, it has low volatility at high temperatures and high resistance to thermal degradation for compounding and molding applications. It is ideal for applications of high surface area, such as films and fibers. It is also useful in the light stabilization of solvent-based coatings and powder coatings.
- Guidelines for Use
Typical recommended use levels in plastics range between 0.1% and 0.6%, and in coatings between 1% and 3.0% based on total solids. Combinations with other light stabilizers such as HALS and benzoates often show enhanced performance in both plastics and coatings. The exact formulation to be used is dependent on the substrate, performance requirements, and other factors, and should be determined by the user based on testing to simulate actual conditions of use. Please contact Mayzo for specific recommendations.
