Anti-UV additive is used to minimize and prevent degradative impacts of UV lights on end-products

Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight can cause damage to plastics, including degradation, discoloration, and loss of mechanical properties.

Hence, using anti-UV additive plays a pivotal role in maintaining plastic products’ durability.

An anti-UV additive is used to protect plastic materials from UV radiation. It works by absorbing or scattering the UV rays, preventing them from penetrating the plastic and causing damage.

Anti-UV additives can be added to plastics during the production process, or they can be applied as a coating to the surface of the material.

It is a common type of plastic additives for outdoor applications, such as playground, construction materials, agricultural films, outdoor furniture,…

There are various types of anti-UV additives available, including organic and inorganic compounds. The choice of additive will depend on the specific plastic material and its intended use, as well as the level of UV protection required.

As a member of EuP – The world leading masterbatch manufacturer, EuP Egypt provides a range of anti-UV additives that are carefully chosen to meet our customers’ specific needs.
