Tinuvin® 5060

Tinuvin® 5060 by BASF is a solvent-free, liquid blend of a 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-benzotriazole UV absorber (UVA) and a non-basic hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) designed to fulfill the high cost/performance and durability requirements of exterior solvent-borne industrial and decorative coatings. It is especially suited for oxidative drying and acid-catalyzed systems. It provides excellent photo-protection for coatings against loss of gloss, cracking, and color change. Tinuvin® 5060 is recommended for clear and light pigmented systems like thermoplastics (acrylics, vinylic), acid-catalyzed paints (acrylic, PES/melamine) and oxidative drying systems (alkyds, oils, waxes). It is a versatile light stabilizer that can be used in a variety of coatings systems such as wood stains and varnishes, general industrial paints, heavy-duty maintenance and marine-, architectural (roof tiles, walls, floor)-plastic-, metal-, glass- and ceramic coatings (architectural glazing, packaging).
