Building & construction
Light stabilisers make coatings, including for wood, highly durable and preserve the appearance of the end product, thereby prolonging service life. This in turn helps to enhance resource efficiency and reduce waste and costs.
Prevention of discolouration of window blinds
Light stabilisers safeguard window blind coatings from discolouration, preserving their functionality and helping to improve energy efficiency. As a result, less air conditioning is required during the summer and less heating in the winter.
Bridge expansion joints
Antioxidants and light stabilisers are crucial components for adhesives used in building and construction applications such as bridge expansion joints. The antioxidants allow the adhesive to be processed, while ensuring the required properties are retained. The light stabilisers enhance the durability of the adhesive, thereby helping to prolong the service life of the bridge.
