Degradation is an undesirable process in the majority of polymeric applications.
It generally leads to changes in the chemical and physical structure of the polymer resulting in the loss of many useful properties, such as molecular weight, mechanical strength, impact resistance and color.
UV degradation of polyamides can negatively affect impact resistance, elongation at break, gloss and color.
By incorporating weathering stabilizers, the occurrence of such damages can slow down considerably.
This selection guide will let you explore different light stabilizers used for polyamides.
You will also get acquainted with light stabilization of aliphatic and aromatic polyamides and starting point formulations of different Polyamide grades.
