Tinuvin® 5060 by BASF is a remarkable product with the following characteristics and features:

Composition and Blend:

It is a solvent-free, liquid blend of a 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-benzotriazole UV absorber (UVA) and a non-basic hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS). This unique combination offers a synergistic effect, providing enhanced protection against the harmful effects of ultraviolet light.

Performance Benefits:

Outstanding Photoprotection for Coatings: The product is designed to fulfill the high cost/performance and durability requirements of exterior solventborne industrial and decorative coatings. It provides excellent protection for coatings against various forms of degradation such as loss of gloss, cracking, and color change, ensuring the long-term stability and quality of the coated surface.

Compatibility with Acidic Materials: The non-basic or low-basicity HALS in Tinuvin® 5060 enables formulating with acidic materials, including acid catalysts and acidic pigments. This makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of coating formulations.

Applications:

Automotive Refinish: Can be used in automotive refinish coatings to enhance the durability and UV resistance of the coatings, protecting the vehicle's surface from the damaging effects of sunlight.

Furniture, Flooring, and Floor Care: Ideal for coatings used on furniture and flooring, as well as in floor care products. It helps to maintain the appearance and performance of these surfaces over time, even in high-traffic areas.

Industrial Coatings: Widely applied in industrial coatings to protect industrial surfaces from UV-induced degradation, meeting the demanding requirements of industrial environments.

Adhesives and Sealants: Also used in hot melt, reactive, solvent-based, and radiation curing adhesives and sealants, improving their UV resistance and overall performance.

Physical Form: It is in the liquid form, which makes it convenient for handling and incorporation into various formulations.
