https://www.uvabsorber.com/products/benzoate-uv-absorber/ Benzoate UV absorbers can increase the resistance of polyolefins to harmful UV light by scavenging free radicals formed during photo degradation of plastic materials. The use of benzoate UV absorbers together with the hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) creates a synergistic effect, providing superior performance over HALS alone, especially in polyolefin substrates. The HALS UV absorber has good compatibility with polyolefin substrates, is resistant to extraction, and can be used in many types of polyolefins.
