Products in Processing Aids: Candle Manufacturing

SperseStab™ 6000 is a 100% active UV stabilizer that is miscible with a large number of solvents and plasticizers. It is easily incorporated into many different plastics and is ideal for use in flexible and rigid PVC, plastisols, and liquid color concentrate formulations. SperseStab™ 6000 may also be used in polyurethane coatings as well as vinyl and acrylic adhesives. It is compatible with polyolefins, polyolefin films, and candle wax. SperseStab™ 6000 features a patent-pending technology that provides superior UV performance with light fastness improvements ranging from 15% to 100%, depending on the polymer matrix.

SperseStab™ 6050 is formulated to provide UV protection to plasticized PVC as well as TPU, RIM, and urethane foam systems. As a liquid, it is easily incorporated and provides excellent weatherability and economy. It represents a lower-viscosity alternative to competitive products without the use of volatile organics. Use alone or in combination with other UV stabilizers or antioxidants. SperseStab™ 6050 is a 100% active liquid UV stabilizer system designed for use in coatings and systems where acids may be present. Based on a N-OR HALS and synergistic UV absorbers, the system is tolerant of acids and is ideal for PVC, acrylics, and alkyd-based coatings. SperseStab™ 6050 can also be used in liquid color/additive masterbatches and candles.

SperseStab™ 4003 works in conjunction with HALS to provide improved color and stability compared to HALS alone. SperseStab™ 4003 represents an economical alternative to competitive UV systems. Furthermore, SperseStab™ 4003 has been formulated to have a minimal impact on burns when compared to other UV stabilizer systems.

SperseStab™ 3290D is a benzotriazole UV absorber that is effective for the light stabilization of candles as well as olefins. It protects the waxes, dyes, and fragrances from UV radiation, preserving their intended appearance and physical properties. It is designed for easier dispersion in aliphatic systems such as candle wax or olefins without the dust and EHS (environment, health, and safety) concerns associated with powdered products.

SperseStab™ 6020 is a highly effective UV stabilizer system for candles, but it may also find application in coatings, liquid color concentrates, unsaturated polyester, and vinyl esters. In addition to providing unique benefits, SperseStab™ 6020 represents an economical alternative to competitive UV systems. Furthermore, SperseStab™ 6020 has been formulated to have minimal impact on burn compared to other UV stabilizer systems.

SperseStab™ 6425 is a new proprietary system ideally suited for liquid color concentrate and candle applications. As a liquid, this new system offers greater dispersion and unmatched performance compared to solid analogues. The unique liquid UV stabilizer system is comprised of a highly effective synergistic blend.
