• Tinuvin® 213 offers ease of handling and incorporation.
• Provides excellent UV absorption to protect polymers from photodegradation.
• Imparts good light stability to a variety of polymers.
• It is less volatile than many alternative UVAs so it provides greater permanence during processing or heat aging conditions.
• It is useful in a variety of substrates and applications, including polyurethanes, liquid color concentrates, elastomers, styrene homo- and copolymers, PMMA, vinyl polymers (PVB, PVC), engineering plastics such as polycarbonate, polyesters and polyolefins.
• The usage levels range from 0.15 % to 1.0%, depending on the substrate and performance requirements of the final application.
