According to the Plastics Industry Association, “An UV stabilizer is a chemical additive that protects materials such as plastics, coatings, polymers and textiles from ultraviolet (UV) degradation. UV light breaks down chemical bonds in a material, leading to its discoloration, cracking, brittleness, and loss of mechanical strength, thereby impacting its aesthetic properties and functionalities. UV stabilizers prevent these kinds of damage by reflecting, absorbing, or neutralizing UV radiation, thereby extending lifespan of UV-exposed products. UV stabilizers comprise of HALS, UV absorbers, and quenchers.”
