Visão geral do produto & principais benefícios
UV-P (2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-il)-p-cresol) is a widely used benzotriazole UV absorber with low color. It is used in styrenics, PVC, acrylics, poliéster, policarbonato, coatings and adhesives. Its relatively low molecular weight (225.2) suits thicker parts more than thin films processed at high temperature.
Low color
Suits clear and light-colored products.
Broad compatibility
PS, PVC, PMMA, BICHO DE ESTIMAÇÃO, computador, coatings and adhesives.

Seleção & comparação
Selecting a UV Absorber
| 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.

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, horas, 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.

Ver produto →UV Absorber UV-P FAQ
Is UV-P suitable for thin films?
Its low molecular weight makes it volatile at high processing temperatures. For thin films and fibers, higher-MW grades such as 234 ou 360 are usually better.
What dosage is typical?
0.1–0.5% depending on thickness and exposure, often with a HALS for outdoor use.
Does UV-P color the product?
It has low inherent color and is used in clear products.
Posso obter uma amostra antes de fazer o pedido?
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.
E se um COA não corresponder à especificação acordada?
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.
