1. Plastics & Polymers
- Polyolefins (PP, PE, HDPE, LDPE): Used in packaging films, outdoor furniture, automotive parts, and agricultural films** to prevent yellowing, brittleness, and loss of mechanical strength caused by UV exposure.
- PVC Products: Stabilizes flexible PVC (e.g., cables, synthetic leather) against UV-induced degradation.
- Engineering Plastics: Enhances UV resistance in ABS, polycarbonate (PC), and polyesters.
2. Coatings & Inks
- Paints: Protects architectural coatings (exterior paints), automotive coatings, and marine coatings from fading and chalking.
- Inks: Used in outdoor printing inks (e.g., billboards, packaging) to improve colorfastness under sunlight.
3. Rubber Industry
- Extends the lifespan of tires, seals, hoses, and gaskets by preventing UV and ozone-induced cracking.
4. Personal Care & Cosmetics
- Sunscreens: Acts as a secondary UV filter (not a primary sunscreen agent) to boost SPF performance in lotions and creams (*subject to regional regulations*).
- Hair Care Products: Protects hair from UV damage in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products.
5. Textiles
- Applied to synthetic fabrics (e.g., polyester, nylon) via finishing treatments to create UV-protective clothing** (UPF-rated garments).
6. Adhesives & Sealants
- Prevents UV degradation in industrial adhesives and construction sealants exposed to sunlight.
7. Agricultural Films
- Used in greenhouse films to block harmful UV rays while maintaining transparency for plant growth.
