1. High-Performance Coatings

This is its most core and prominent application area. Thanks to its excellent thermal stability and good solubility, it is particularly suitable for coating systems requiring high-temperature curing.

– Powder Coatings

Prevents decomposition during high-temperature baking, effectively protecting the coating from loss of gloss, discoloration, and cracking.

– Coil Coatings (Coated Steel)

Used for pre-coated metal coils, providing long-term weather protection.

– Automotive Coatings

Used in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) paints or refinish paints to improve the long-term weather resistance and anti-yellowing properties of the paint surface.

– Other Industrial Coatings

The general addition amount is 1.0% – 3.0% of the total weight of the formula, and it is often used in combination with hindered amine light stabilizers (such as UV-292) for better results.

2. High-End Engineering Plastics

Used as a high-efficiency light stabilizer to protect the mechanical properties and appearance of plastics.

– Polycarbonate (PC)

Significantly improves the anti-yellowing ability of polycarbonate.

– Polyesters (such as PBT, PET)

Prevents strength and color degradation caused by ultraviolet light.

– Polyamide (PA, Nylon), Polyoxymethylene (POM), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), etc.

The recommended addition amount is usually between 0.15% and 0.60%.

3. Agricultural Films

Added to agricultural plastic films, it can absorb some ultraviolet light, extending the service life of the film while also helping to create a more suitable growth and development environment for certain crops.

4. Adhesives and Sealants

Used in adhesives and sealants that require long-term outdoor use or may be affected by sunlight, preventing aging and failure due to ultraviolet radiation.

5. Scientific Research Applications

This compound is also provided as a biochemical reagent, mainly used in related light stabilization mechanism research and material development experiments.
