Clear plastics
Low color for PC, PMMA and PET.
SUNSORB® 329 (UV-329) is a benzotriazole UV absorber widely used in polycarbonate, polyester, PVC and acrylics. It combines strong UV absorption with low color in clear and light-colored parts.

UV-329 (2-(2H-benzotriazole-2-yl)-4-(1,1,3,3-tétraméthylbutyle)phénol) is a common choice for PC sheet, ANIMAUX, PVC, PMMA and styrenics. It is also a frequent replacement for restricted benzotriazoles such as 327 et 328.
Typical specification. Every shipment is supplied with a batch COA; the limits that apply to your order are confirmed in the quotation and contract.

Pick an application to see how 329 is normally used and what to confirm before your trial.

UV protection for PC sheet and acrylic parts, typically 0.1–0.5%.
Protects polyester bottles, film and fiber.
UV absorber for PVC and styrenic compounds.
25 kg net bags or cartons with a PE inner liner. Palletized; private-label packing on request.
Keep sealed in a cool, sec, ventilated place away from heat and direct sun. See the SDS for full handling details.
Typically 3–15 business days from order confirmation, depending on quantity. GOUSSET, CIF or DAP to major ports.
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).
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.
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.
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.
Start with your material, part thickness, quantité et destination. Add your current UV package and we will quote against it.

Both are used. 234 has higher molecular weight and lower volatility for very high processing temperatures; 329 is a cost-effective standard.
Often yes in plastics, depending on polymer and process. Re-run your weathering test after switching.
0.1–0.5% depending on thickness and exposure.
Oui. Tell us the polymer, the test you plan to run and the quantity you need. Samples ship with a COA so you can compare the lot against your current material.
Send us the agreed specification and the COA showing the difference (parameter, unit and test method). We check it with the production batch record before you accept the material, and replace or re-test where the lot is out of specification.
