Overview
LOWILITE™ 55 is a top-notch benzotriazole UV absorber known for its exceptional photostability. This substance exhibits a remarkable ability to efficiently absorb photochemical energy and release it as heat. LOWILITE™ 55 UV absorber provides excellent ultraviolet light protection for a variety of polyolefins and elastomers.
This grade can absorb ultraviolet radiation and maintain its stability under light exposure. The energy absorbed in the ultraviolet-exposed region is converted into thermal energy through a photochemical process. With its exceptional ability to absorb ultraviolet light and maintain stability, LOWILITE™ 55 UV absorber proves to be a highly effective solution in protecting against the harmful effects of UV light.
