BLS® 2908

BLS® 2908 by Mayzo is Benzoic acid, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy-, hexadecyl ester. It acts as a light stabilizer. It functions by scavenging free radicals formed during the photodegradation of plastic materials. Combinations of this product with hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) often provide superior performance vs. HALS used alone, especially in polyolefin substrates. Has low volatility. BLS® 2908 is non-discoloring, has good compatibility with polyolefin substrates, is resistant to extraction, and is FDA-cleared for use in polyolefins. Potential applications include polypropylene and TPO thick-section parts and polyethylene (HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE) moldings, films, and tapes. Recommended concentrations in polyolefins range from 0.1 to 0.5%.
