UV Masterbatch
UV Masterbatch is a specialized type of additive masterbatch that incorporates UV (ultraviolet) stabilizers or absorbers into a polymer resin. The primary purpose of UV masterbatch is to protect plastic products from the harmful effects of UV radiation, such as degradation, discoloration, and brittleness, which can occur when plastics are exposed to sunlight or other UV sources over time.
Applications of UV Masterbatch:
Packaging: Food and Beverage Packaging: UV masterbatch can be used in packaging films and containers to prevent food or beverages from degrading due to UV light exposure. It helps preserve the shelf life of products by preventing oxidation and color changes.
Agricultural Films: UV masterbatch is commonly used in the production of agricultural films, such as greenhouse covers and mulch films. These films benefit from UV protection, as it helps to prevent them from degrading under constant sunlight exposure.

Advantages of UV Masterbatch:
Longer Product Lifespan: By preventing UV degradation, UV masterbatch significantly extends the service life of plastic products, especially those exposed to sunlight.
Preserves Aesthetic Quality: UV masterbatch helps in maintaining the color and appearance of plastic products, preventing discoloration and yellowing.
