  Light Stabilizers Make the UV Protection of Environmental Friendly Coatings Easier

  High solids, powder, waterborne and UV curable coatings-the “green” coatings-have been developed to replace conventional high VOC and solvent-based coatings. Although the latest technology has overcome the disadvantages of traditional solvent-based coatings, light stabilizers in green coatings still play an important role helping to avoid degradation from sun light exposure and improve weathering stability. Everlight has developed several products specifically for green coatings.

  Light Stabilisers for clear coatings

  It is important to know UV curable coatings especially in dry faster system. Light stabilizers including UV absorbers (UVA) and hinder amine light stabilizers (HALS) are known to prevent coating damages caused by UV irradiation. Photo initiator absorbs UV energy to initiate curing processes. UV absorber absorbs UV energy to prevent coatings damages. As a result, UV absorber and photo initiator are competing for UV energy to cause negative impacts about cure speed.

  Light stabilisers for wood pre-treatment applications

  Lignin, when exposed to sunlight, can easily be degraded. Results from a study, carried out by Everlight, suggest when wood was treated with high performance light stabilisers prior to the application of a clear coat, can extend the protection of lignin from UV light degradation
