What is UV Stabilizer for PP?
[US Masterbatch] Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most widely used thermoplastics in the world. From automotive parts and outdoor furniture to agricultural textiles and packaging, its versatility is unmatched. However, PP has a “natural enemy”: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Without protection, PP products exposed to sunlight quickly lose their strength, change color, and become brittle.…
