Eversorb 990 Creates a Resilient and Sustainable Agricultural Future
16 Jul, 2025
Agricultural films are essential materials for crop cultivation, and their durability directly impacts crop growth environments and farmers' income. However, many agricultural film products on the market deteriorate within a single season. Everlight Chemical's breakthrough Eversorb® 990 Light Stabilizer effectively addresses this industry pain point, providing comprehensive weatherability protection for agricultural films.
Agricultural Film Durability Challenges & Market Conditions
As modern agriculture demands high efficiency and sustainable development, agricultural film quality has become key to production stability. As vital materials protecting crop growth environments, the durability of agricultural films directly affects crop yields, farmers' income, and manufacturers' brand reputation. However, in practical applications, agricultural films often suffer from edge cracking, yellowing, or large-area damage, leading to insufficient lifespan and increased replacement costs for farmers while undermining manufacturers' market competitiveness and customer trust.

Can Increasing Thickness Really Solve Agricultural Film Cracking Problems?
Many believe that agricultural film deterioration is due to poor material quality or insufficient thickness, leading them to choose thicker films or change compositions to extend lifespan. However, this only temporarily delays aging without solving the fundamental degradation problem. Agricultural films exposed to outdoor environments must withstand multiple erosions from UV radiation, heat, wind and rain, and pesticides, causing polymer chain breakage and deterioration. Therefore, thickening films only increases costs without effectively preventing aging caused by polymer degradation.
According to the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) research, commercial polyethylene agricultural films under strong outdoor sunlight have an average lifespan of only 3-6 months. For example, in South China's summer, solar radiation intensity reaches 6 kWh/m²/day, equivalent to the energy needed to charge 360 mobile phones daily, sufficient to cause rapid film deterioration. Light stabilizers are the key technology for solving this challenge, effectively delaying aging and improving weatherability by absorbing UV radiation, capturing free radicals, and reducing thermal damage.

From Weatherability to Sustainability – Eversorb® 990 Creates Four Leading Advantages for Agricultural Films
Weatherability Upgrade – Lifespan Extended by More Than Double
Eversorb® 990 Light Stabilizer uses professional-grade light stabilization formulations to effectively absorb UV radiation and capture free radicals, significantly improving agricultural film weatherability. Just 1% dosage can extend film lifespan to over 2000 hours, reducing replacement and maintenance costs while minimizing after-sales complaints and return risks, strengthening customer trust and brand image.
High Technical Barriers – Enabling Differentiation & Global Market Positioning
Eversorb® 990 Light Stabilizer provides agricultural films with high weatherability and added-value technical advantages, helping create distinct market positioning from competitors. High weatherability products build professional image more easily and meet high standards for weatherability and environmental protection from the EU, China, and other regions, aligning with international regulatory trends and enabling early global market positioning.
Supporting Sustainable Development – Reducing Waste & Environmental Burden
Extended agricultural film lifespan represents improved resource efficiency and waste reduction. After implementing Eversorb® 990 Light Stabilizer, agricultural film lifespan can be extended by 1-3 times, potentially reducing approximately 1 million tons of agricultural plastic waste annually, decreasing replacement frequency and processing costs by 40%, reducing recycling pressure, and supporting ESG sustainable development goals.
