Présentation du produit
UV-328 (2-(2H-benzotriazole-2-yl)-4,6-di-tert-pentylphenol) has been used in automotive coatings, PVC and polyolefins. It is now listed for elimination under the Stockholm Convention (with limited exemptions) and is a REACH SVHC. We supply it only where the destination allows, and help buyers move to alternatives such as 329, 234 ou liquide 384-2 for coatings.
Typical specification. Every shipment is supplied with a batch COA; the limits that apply to your order are confirmed in the quotation and contract.

Technique & Buying Information
UV Absorber UV-328 Buyer Guide
Define the exposure
Indoor light behind glass, outdoor temperate climate and desert or tropical exposure need very different packages. Note the target service life and the weathering test you use (xenon or QUV, heures, ΔE or gloss retention).
Match absorber to process and thickness
A UV absorber works by filtering, so it needs enough path length: thick parts need less, thin films and fibers need more and need a low-volatility grade. Check the absorber survives your processing temperature.
Combine with a HALS
For outdoor use the standard approach is UV absorber plus HALS. Send your current package and pigment system and we suggest a starting combination for the trial.
Check regulations before you buy
Some benzotriazoles are restricted in the EU and other markets. Tell us the destination and end use, and we confirm the REACH and food-contact position of the grade before you order.
