What is UV Masterbatch and Applications
In outdoor environments, plastic products are heavily exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation — the leading cause of aging in polymers. UV light degrades polymer structures, resulting in discoloration, brittleness, surface cracking, reduced tensile strength, and overall shorter product lifespan. For many industries such as agriculture, packaging, construction, and infrastructure, UV resistance is no longer just an option — it has become a mandatory requirement to ensure product quality and durability.
Recognizing this need, US Masterbatch has researched and developed a specialized line of UV Masterbatch, produced using advanced compounding technology and next-generation light-stabilizing additives. Our formulation optimally combines UV Absorbers (UVA) and HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) to provide:
- Absorption of UV radiation and conversion into harmless energy
- Prevention of oxidative and photo-oxidative degradation that breaks polymer chains
- Long-term protection of mechanical properties and product color
- Extended product lifespan by 2 – 10 years, depending on application and dosage
With high compatibility with PE, PP, HDPE, LLDPE and various other polymers, US Masterbatch’s UV Masterbatch is widely applied in:
- Agricultural films (greenhouse, mulch film)
- Woven PP bags and jumbo bags
- HDPE pipes
- Household and outdoor plastic products
- PP fibers and nonwoven materials
- Geomembrane sheets and outdoor engineering products
Using UV Masterbatch helps manufacturers:
- Improve product quality and durability
- Reduce risks of degradation under intense sunlight
- Optimize production costs thanks to highly efficient, well-dispersed additives
US Masterbatch’s Key UV Masterbatch Grades
In recent years, the demand for durable, weather-resistant plastic materials has increased significantly across various industries. Exposure to sunlight — especially UV radiation — remains one of the most critical factors affecting the lifespan and performance of plastic products. Without adequate UV protection, polymers degrade rapidly, leading to surface cracking, loss of strength, discoloration, and reduced safety in end-use applications. As manufacturers move toward higher standards of product reliability and long-term outdoor performance, the role of UV stabilizers has become more important than ever. Understanding this industry shift, US Masterbatch has focused on developing advanced UV Masterbatch solutions that ensure consistent quality, greater durability, and dependable protection even under the most challenging environmental conditions:
1. UV770 – GRADE UV01 (15%), UV02 (20%) Masterbatch – Specialized for PP fibers, raffia, and woven bags
Main component: HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer) type UV770 – considered the gold standard stabilizer for polypropylene.
Key features:
• Extremely effective for PP raffia, FIBC, and spun yarns
• Prevents fiber breakage and brittleness when exposed outdoors
• Strong UV resistance, suitable for hot climates with high UV intensity, such as Vietnam
• Good compatibility with PP homo and PP raffia grades
• Excellent dispersion, dust-free, easy to use in high-speed production
Applications:
Woven PP bags, jumbo bags, fertilizer bags, cement bags, PP strapping, PP textile yarns
2. UV783 – GRADE UV01 (15%), UV02 (20%) Masterbatch – Specialized for PE films (HDPE/LDPE/LLDPE Film)
Main component: Standard UV783 stabilizer blend, including UVA + HALS, optimized for film products.
Key features:
• Highly effective for thin PE films
• Prevents aging, tearing, and brittleness under prolonged sun exposure
• Suitable for agricultural films, greenhouse films, and mulch films
• Color-stable, resists yellowing
• Easy to blow into films, without affecting gloss or transparency
Applications:
Greenhouse films, agricultural films, PE bags, outdoor packaging films, geomembranes
