Ultraviolet Light Absorber
Lowilite 55 is an ultraviolet light absorber belonging to the benzotriazole class of UVAs.
Lowilite 55 offers ultraviolet light protection to a wide range of polymers. It is a strong absorber of ultraviolet radiation and has a high degree of photostability. Photochemical energy absorbed in the ultraviolet region is dissipated as thermal energy. High absorptivity combined with photostability and the ability to release absorbed energy make Lowilite 55 an excellent stabilizer against the detrimental effects of ultraviolet light.
The use of proper protective equipment is recommended. Excess exposure to the product should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling. Store the product in a cool, dry, wellventilated area away from incompatible materials. Unless stated, proper storage will permit usage of the product for 6 to 12 months from the date of receipt. For additional handling and toxicological information, consult the GLCC Material Safety Data Sheet. |
