Photostability of HDPE Filaments Stabilized with UV Absorbers (UVA) and Light Stabilizers (HALS)
نویسنده
چکیده
HDPE monofilaments were photostabilized with hindered amine l ight s tabi l izers (HALS) and UV absorbers at varying stabilizer concentrations. The filaments were assessed for UV resistance by exposure to simulated outdoor weathering conditions in artificial weathering apparatus and testing the exposed samples at regular intervals for retained tensile properties. Films of HDPE of varying thickness and containing different concentrations of photostbilizers were also prepared. The UV protective ability of the films was assessed by measuring Ultra Violet Protection Factor (UPF). The results indicate that UV absorbers improve the stability of the filaments significantly. However, the best performance was displayed by filaments containing HALS.

INTRODUCTION It is now recognized that to adequately protect skin from sun damage, sunscreens require a photostable combination of ultraviolet (UV) filters with a suitable level of UVA protection. The total amount of UV filters should be as low as possible to avoid adverse skin reactions, potential environmental impact, and to ensure acceptable texture for better application and usage. METHOD...

متن کاملMechanism of Polymer Stabilization by Hindered-Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS). Model Investigations of the Interaction of Peroxy Radicals with HALS Amines and Amino Ethers
Peroxy radicals, when generated in the presence of hindered-amine light stabilizers (HALS), oxidized HALS to produce nitroxides. This reaction, in addition to the scavenging of alkyl radicals by nitroxides, forms a cycle describing HALS as a class of excellent polymer stabilizers. As model systems for the mechanism of the oxidation of HALS, both alkyl peroxy and acyl peroxy radicals were produc...
