BLS® 600

Hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS)

Overview

BLS^® 600 is a high molecular weight hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) that provides protection against photo-oxidative degradation in plastics, fibers, and adhesives.

Advantages

• Highly effective as a light stabilizer in plastics, both in thin and thick sections
• Narrow polydispersity provides consistent performance during processing and end use
• Provides enhanced long-term thermal oxidative stability in polyolefins
• Synergistic performance with other light stabilizers (HALS, UV absorbers, benzoates)
• Low volatility, good resistance to extraction, low interaction with pigments and fillers
• FDA cleared in polyolefins
