K1560® UV Stabilizer Concentrate

K1560® is a specialty UV stabilizer concentrate containing 25% UV stabilizer based in polypropylene. This concentrate is designed to offer UV protection by quenching oxidative byproducts resulting from the exposure to UV light. K1560® has a minimal effect on the color or melt index of products to which it is added.

Applications

▪ Bulk bag / plastic flexible container bags / flexible intermediate bulk container.
▪ Plastic woven sack / wool pack.
▪ Awning, mesh (vegetable) bags, film, fiber.
▪ Injection and blow molding.

Usage

K1560® is recommended for use at 0.6% to 2% addition levels depending upon customer specific application requirements. At 1.0% addition level, FIBC fabrics with K1560® will meet requirements of both ISO 21898 (the FIBC international standard) and ASTM G154 (Standard Practice for UV exposure of nonmetallic materials).

UV Test method

Expose test samples to fluorescent UV-B light in QUV Accelerated Weathering Tester for at least 200 hours, using a test cycle of 8 hours at 60 °C with UV radiation, alternating with 4 hours at 50 °C with condensation.

Storage

Use within 24 months of production date for optimum performance.

Handling & Safety

In accordance with good industrial practices, handle with care.

Packaging

In 25 kg bags.
