UV radiation from sunlight can cause degradation of automotive surfaces and materials, leading to fading, cracking, and reduced lifespan. TINTOLL UV absorbers for coatings are incorporated into automotive paints, coatings, and plastics to absorb and dissipate harmful UV radiation, preventing damage. Photoinitiators are added to coating formulations, and upon exposure to UV light, they trigger a chemical reaction that leads to rapid curing.
UV absorbers for coatings absorb UV energy and transform it into harmless heat, protecting the automotive materials from UV-induced degradation.
Light exposure can lead to discoloration, embrittlement, and loss of mechanical properties in automotive parts. Light stabilizers are added to polymers used in interior and exterior parts to prevent degradation caused by light exposure.
Benefits of the application: Maintains color stability, mechanical strength, and overall appearance of automotive components.
Function: Light stabilizers hinder the photochemical reactions that lead to material degradation, preserving the original properties of the materials.
Exposure to heat, oxygen, and other environmental factors can cause oxidative degradation of automotive materials. Polymer antioxidants are mixed into polymers used in various parts to inhibit oxidation and maintain material integrity. Antioxidants inhibit the oxidation process by neutralizing free radicals, thereby preventing the chain reaction that leads to material degradation.
TinToll's polymer additives are essential in the automobile industry to enhance the performance and durability of various automotive components. These additives ultimately contribute to maintaining the aesthetic appeal, structural integrity, and functional properties of automobiles, ensuring that they withstand environmental challenges and maintain their quality over time.
