Applications
BNX 1171 is an antioxidant blend developed for use in polyamides. Recommended applications include polyamide (PA 6, PA 6,6, PA 12) molded parts, fibers, and films. This product also improves the light stability of polyamides. Further enhancement of light stability can be achieved by using hindered amine light stabilizers and/or ultraviolet absorbers in combination with BNX 1171.
Advantages
- Provides heat stability necessary for polyamides to survive melt processing operations as well as end use at elevated temperatures
- Improves the light stability of polyamides
- Less discoloring and more resistant to extraction than copper-based stabilizers
- Low volatility
- FDA-cleared for use in polyamides
Guidelines for Use
Recommended concentrations in polyamides range from 0.1 to 1.0%, depending on the application. The use of BNX 1171 in combination with hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) such as BLS® 1770 or BLS 1944 is recommended for weatherable applications requiring maximum light stability. Use of formulations additionally comprising an ultraviolet absorber such as BLS 234 is recommended in formulations containing organic pigments to improve lightfastness and reduce color changes after weathering. The exact formulation to be used is dependent on the substrate, performance requirements, and other factors, and should be determined by the user based on testing to simulate actual conditions of use. Please contact Mayzo for specific recommendations.
