Low volatility
High MW keeps it in the polymer at high processing temperatures.
SUNSORB® 234 (UV-234) is a high-molecular-weight benzotriazole UV absorber with very low volatility. It is designed for polymers processed at high temperatures, such as PC, BICHO DE ESTIMAÇÃO, PA and their blends.
UV-234 (2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-il)-4,6-bis(1-metil-1-feniletil)fenol) has a molecular weight of 447.6 and stays in the polymer during high-temperature processing. It is used in polycarbonate, polyesters, poliamidas, PC/ABS and automotive coatings.
High MW keeps it in the polymer at high processing temperatures.
Designed for PC, BICHO DE ESTIMAÇÃO, PA and their blends.
Good long-term retention in thin and thick parts.

UV protection for PC sheet, glazing and PC/ABS parts.
UV absorber for polyester film, fiber and molded parts.
Used in polyamide parts and automotive coatings.
| Sua necessidade | O que geralmente funciona |
|---|---|
| Clear or light-colored polyolefin parts and film | Benzophenone (531) or benzotriazole (326) at low loading |
| High processing temperature (computador, BICHO DE ESTIMAÇÃO, PA) | Low-volatility grades: 234, 360 or 1577-type triazines |
| Thin films and fibers | Higher-MW, low-volatility grades so the absorber is not lost in processing |
| Solvent-borne and waterborne coatings | Liquid benzotriazoles (384-2, 1130) or triazine (400), paired with a HALS |
| Outdoor service longer than one season | UV absorber plus a HALS; the absorber filters, the HALS stops radical chains |
| Exports to the EU | Check REACH status first; some benzotriazoles (327, 328) are restricted |
| Replacing an existing grade | Envie seu TDS ou COA atual; we match on chemistry and the parameters you approve |

*Starting points for trials, not fixed recommendations. Loading depends on part thickness, pigment, target service life and the HALS used alongside. UV absorbers and HALS work by different mechanisms and are usually combined.
25 kg net bags or cartons with a PE inner liner. Palletized; private-label packing on request.
Keep sealed in a cool, seco, 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. FOB, 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, horas, 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.

When processing temperature is high or sections are thin, 234's lower volatility gives better retention.
0.1–0.5% in plastics; confirm with your weathering test.
In many engineering-plastic applications, sim. A weathering re-test is needed.
Sim. Diga-nos o polímero, o teste que você planeja realizar e a quantidade necessária. As amostras são enviadas com um COA para que você possa comparar o lote com o material atual.
Envie-nos a especificação acordada e o COA mostrando a diferença (parâmetro, unidade e método de teste). Verificamos com o registro do lote de produção antes de você aceitar o material, e substitua ou teste novamente quando o lote estiver fora das especificações.
