New Light Stabilizers for Wood and Metal Coatings

BASF Introduces New Light Stabilizers for Wood and Metal Paints

BASF is launching five new high-performance products from the Tinuvin® DW (N) series for water-based systems, while making a mark with Tinuvin® 249, which enables cost-effective production of durable, fade-resistant paints. BASF is introducing new light stabilizers for wood and metal paints from five products in the Tinuvin® DW (N) series. BASF will also address rising demand for high-performance light stabilizers with its specialty product Tinuvin® 249, designed for formulating durable coatings intended for outdoor use.

New Light Stabilizers from the Tinuvin DW (N) Series

BASF has launched five Tinuvin products: Tinuvin 123-DW (N), Tinuvin 400-DW (N), Tinuvin 477-DW (N), Tinuvin 9945-DW (N) and Tinuvin 5333-DW (N). The Tinuvin series represents a new generation of liquid light stabilizers that will respond to growing demand in the field of potentially critical raw material content. The Tinuvin series was developed for water-based systems. The products are notable for not containing methylisothiazolinone (MIT), and do not require the EUH 208 label used for warnings against allergic reactions. For this reason, Tinuvin series products stand out as sustainable and environmentally compliant products.

Tinuvin 249

The standout product of the Tinuvin series is Tinuvin 249, a non-basic light stabilizer (HALS). Tinuvin 249 is compatible with a wide range of paint systems and enables the production of coatings with high degree of color fastness and water resistance. Noteworthy for its cost-effectiveness, Tinuvin 249 also saves time by mixing easily into paint due to its low viscosity and reduces waste rates. With no effect on color, Tinuvin 249 is also suitable for the production of high-quality transparent varnishes. Ulf Neidlein, BASF EMEA Manager of Resins and Additives, said regarding the Tinuvin series: "Cost-effectiveness, enhanced performance and sustainability are trending in the light stabilizers field. With our new Tinuvin products, we are offering our customers innovative solutions that meet these important demands."
