UVASORB MET

1 of 1 products in this brand
This product is a yellow powder known for its thermal stability and compatibility with a wide range of binders commonly used in coating formulations. These binders include polyesters, acrylics, cellulosic, polyurethanes, polystyrenes, and polyvinyl acetate. This product exhibits excellent solubility in aromatic solvents and certain polar solvents. It is slightly soluble in alcohol and virtually insoluble in water. One of its key functions is to enhance the resistance of clear coatings to sunlight-induced modifications by protecting against solar radiation.
