Polymers have become a necessity in virtually every aspect of modern life, and recent advances in their production and processing have further broadened the use of plastics, and in some applications, polymers have even replaced other materials such as glass, metal, paper and wood.
⚠️
But the performance of the materials will become degradation or loss like yellowing and the decrease of the relative molecular mass, cracking on surface and loss of luster, due to its feature of structure and the physical state, as well as the exposure to heat, light and heat, oxygen, ozone, water, acid, alkali, bacteria and enzymes and other external factors. What's worse, the degradation would appear in the impact strength, tensile strength, elongation and other mechanical properties, which affects the normal use of polymer materials.

Therefore, the anti-aging of polymer materials has become a problem that the polymer industry has to solve. At present, there are many ways to improve the anti-aging performance of polymer materials, among which the more effective way and the common method is to add anti-aging additives, which is widely used because of the low cost and no need to change the existing production process.
Except for the polymer additives which are used in specific fields, the company could offer below general plastics additives:

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What are anti-aging additives and why are they important for polymer materials?
Anti-aging additives are chemical compounds added to polymer materials to prevent or slow down degradation caused by environmental factors such as UV light, heat, oxygen, ozone, and moisture. They are essential because without protection, polymers can suffer from yellowing, surface cracking, loss of luster, and reduced mechanical properties like tensile strength and elongation, significantly shortening the product's service life.
Q
What types of plastics are compatible with YIHOO UV absorbers and light stabilizers?
YIHOO UV absorbers and light stabilizers are compatible with most engineering plastics, including PP (polypropylene), PE (polyethylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PC (polycarbonate), PU (polyurethane), and more. They effectively protect these materials from UV light and oxidative damage, extending the overall service life of the finished products.
Q
What is the difference between a UV absorber and a light stabilizer?
UV absorbers work by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation and converting it into harmless heat energy, thereby preventing UV-induced degradation of the polymer. Light stabilizers, particularly HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) like YIHOO LS770 and YIHOO LS119, work by interrupting the photo-oxidation chain reaction within the polymer matrix. Both types are often used together for comprehensive protection.
Q
Does adding anti-aging additives require changes to the existing production process?
No. One of the key advantages of using anti-aging additives is that they can be incorporated into the existing production process without any significant modifications. This makes them a highly cost-effective solution for improving the durability and longevity of polymer products, which is why they are widely adopted across the polymer industry.
Q
What specialized application series does the company offer beyond general plastics additives?
Beyond general plastics additives, the company offers a comprehensive product series for specialized applications, including PA polymerization & modification additives, PU foaming additives, PVC polymerization & modification additives, PC additives, TPU elastomer additives, low VOC automotive trim additives, textile finishing agent additives, coating additives, cosmetics additives, API, and other chemical products such as zeolite.
