The exterior weathering resistance of UV-curable formulations, which can chalk, crack and discolor, can be improved significantly by using the correct light stabilizer package, an optimized photoinitiator combination and binder selection.
Researchers provide the full story and results at https://zurl.co/QRKRR.

By Delphine Kimpel, BASF SE; and Jonathan Wattras and Mervin Wood, BASF Corporation The light stabilization of coatings has been a challenge for many years in the paint industry. Over four decades ago, it was discovered that hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) play a significant role in the ligh...
