UV absorber 3030

UV Absorber 3030, also widely known as Uvinul 3030, is a high-performancecyanoacrylate UV absorber designed for advanced polymer stabilization. It is especially optimized for PET, PC and co-extrusion applications, where low volatility and low initial color are critical.

UV absorber UV-3030 is a cyanoacrylate type ultraviolet absorber, capable of absorbing ultraviolet rays ranging from 280 to 320nm, with the absorption peak at 302 nm.

It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, resistance to extraction, low volatility, low migration, good thermal stability, and high absorption efficiency. When used in combination with light stabilizers, the synergistic effect is significant.

It is suitable for polyesters, polycarbonates, polyamides, polyether sulfones, and polymethyl methacrylate, especially for transparent engineering plastics processed at high temperatures. The general dosage is 0.1-0.5%.

Why UV Absorber 3030 is Preferred

1. Ultra-Low Volatility

Minimizes loss during high-temperature extrusion, ensuring long-term UV protection.

2. Low Initial Color

Ideal for transparent applications such as PET sheets and PC glazing.

3. Strong UV Absorption

Absorption peak around 307 nm provides efficient UV shielding.

Applications of UV 3030:

Protect plastic and coating products from ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. It is especially suitable for polymers with higher processing temperatures, such as polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethersulfone, etc.

UV Absorber 3030 Insights

When selecting a UV absorber for high-performance plastics, engineers often compareUvinul 3030 with benzotriazole-based absorbers. The key difference lies in its cyanoacrylate structure, which delivers lower volatility and improved compatibility in PET and PC systems.

In modern applications such as automotive glazing, optical sheets, and high-end packaging,UV 3030 provides a balance between optical clarity and UV durability.
