Main Use

AD-304 is a UV protector in microsphere form that protects plastics from sunlight. It prevents the polymer from degrading outdoors.

How does it work?

  • It is incorporated evenly into the plastic resin during manufacturing.
  • When exposed to sunlight, it neutralizes free radicals and stops photodegradation from its earliest stages.
  • Its main role is to protect the polymer structure and extend the service life of the parts.
  • It does not protect the color, although it helps products maintain a better exterior appearance.

Advantages and Benefits

  • It protects against yellowing, gloss loss, and brittleness caused by sun exposure.
  • It effectively “recharges” by continuously capturing free radicals.
  • It improves the durability and appearance of the plastic.
  • High thermal stability during processing.
  • Compatible with UV absorbers for extra protection.
