Why Choose When You Can Have It All! Eversorb 673N - Complete Anti-Yellowing Solution for PU
25 Nov, 2025
Polyurethane (PU) materials are widely used in footwear, textiles, foam, and other diverse applications, but face persistent yellowing issues caused by UV radiation, heat, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and other factors. Everlight Chemical introduces Eversorb® 673N, a comprehensive anti-yellowing solution that integrates light resistance, heat resistance, and NOx resistance into a single product, not only simplifying formulation management and avoiding additive compatibility issues, but also effectively preventing foam scorching to provide complete protection for PU/TPU applications.
Polyurethane (PU): A Key Material in Modern Industry
Polyurethane (PU) is a versatile polymer that combines elasticity, abrasion resistance, and design flexibility, making it widely applicable across industrial and consumer products. Its advantages lie in the ability to adjust hardness, flexibility, and transparency according to requirements, meeting diverse needs from high-strength structural components to soft, comfortable materials. In footwear, PU is used for midsoles, insoles, adhesives, and upper materials, balancing lightweight properties with durability. In textiles, PU synthetic leather and PU/TPU fibers not only enhance wear resistance but also provide comfortable touch and fashionable appearance. Additionally, PU is extensively used in foam, adhesives, coatings, and sealants, playing crucial roles in furniture, automotive interiors, construction, and electronics. With its multifunctionality and processing flexibility, polyurethane has become an indispensable key material in modern industry and daily life.

⚠ However, behind these excellent properties, PU materials face a persistent challenge troubling the industry—the yellowing problem.
PU commonly encounters "yellowing" issues in practical use. Due to sensitivity to UV radiation, heat, oxygen, and chemical substances, materials tend to gradually change from transparent or light colors to yellowish-brown after prolonged exposure or use, affecting appearance and quality. Imagine: white sneaker soles yellowing within six months, transparent phone cases turning foggy yellow after three months, pristine sofas gradually losing their luster... These are real-world examples of PU yellowing problems in daily life.
Beyond light and heat, nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the air are also significant factors causing pollution-induced yellowing of PU, especially severe in densely trafficked or urban environments. For PU foam, exposure to high temperatures during processing or use can lead to core scorching or brown spots, not only affecting appearance but also damaging consumer trust in brand quality! While these issues typically don't immediately compromise material structure, they directly reduce product value perception and market competitiveness.
! Limitations of Traditional Solutions
Current common approaches involve using different additives for different yellowing sources: adding light stabilizers to resist UV radiation, using antioxidants to reduce thermal aging, and additionally incorporating anti-NOx additives to prevent pollution-induced discoloration. However, this dispersed method has drawbacks: requiring simultaneous preparation of multiple additives increases raw material management and production complexity; different additives may interfere with each other, leading to suboptimal anti-yellowing performance. Therefore, the market urgently needs a more efficient, simplified solution with multiple protection capabilities.
Innovative Solution: All-in-One Comprehensive Protection
Addressing these challenges, Everlight Chemical introduces "Eversorb® 673N - Comprehensive Anti-Yellowing Solution for Polyurethane". Unlike traditional methods requiring multiple additive combinations, this solution integrates light resistance, heat resistance, and NOx resistance functions into a single product through unique formulation design, effectively suppressing yellowing from multiple sources.
✨ Whether for footwear, textiles, transparent adhesives, furniture foam, or building sealants, all can achieve comprehensive appearance protection through this solution. For PU/TPU applications pursuing high performance and stability, this is a truly "all-in-one" ideal choice.
