BLS® 99-2 is a liquid hydroxyphenyl-benzotriazole UV absorber that provides outstanding light stability to many industrial and architectural coatings. As a liquid, BLS® 99-2 blends easily and disperses completely resulting in lower loading requirements, virtually eliminating the particle dispersion problems associated with traditional powder UV absorbers. The liquid form also allows for outstanding compatibility with a wide variety of coating systems, including waterborne and solvent-based coatings

Applications: BLS® 99-2 is a liquid UV absorber offering excellent protection against ultraviolet degradation. BLS® 99-2 is effective in coating applications including industrial coatings, architectural paints, and wood stains. It can be used in both water-based and solvent-based applications. BLS® 99-2 can also be used in combination with hindered amine light stabilizers to provide significantly enhanced performance. In the synergistic combinations, the blends offer protection against blistering, color change, cracking, gloss reduction, and delamination.

Advantages:

• Excellent miscibility with coating solvents

• Thermal permanence

• Compatible with a wide variety of systems including water-based

• Synergistic performance with other light stabilizers (coatings)

• Extends life time of coatings by minimizing defects such as loss of gloss and cracking
