UV-Stabilization of Agriculture Films:
Technofill Additives has developed specializes in UV-stabilization of agricultural films. The company has its own experimental greenhouses, specially designed for testing new formulations of. UV-stabilizers, and can provide useful advice for this particularly demanding application. There are complete range of UV Additive Masterbatch proposed for this application:
Based on Ni-Quencher with UVA
UV10288-NiUVA / UV15382-NiUVA / UV20575-NiUVA
It is suitable for 1 to 5 season agriculture films (depending on area and addition rate) Films stabilized with above products have a yellow & greenish shade and this Masterbatch are resistant to interactions with sulfur and sulfur containing pesticides
Based on NOR-HALS with UVA
UV10288-NoRUVh / UV15382-NoRUVh / UV20575-NoRUVh
It is combined other special additives. It has been designed for use in greenhouses where sulfur and excessive pesticides are applied for pest control.
Based on HALS and Co-Stabilizers
UV10288-UVhCo / UV15382-UVhCo / UV20575-UVhCo
has been developed with the purpose of improving the resistance of H A L S to pesticides. H A L S are reactive alkaline molecules-this is why they are deactivated by acidic pesticides and their residues. by introducing in the film compounds with higher alkalinity which react with the pesticides and neutralize them, the damage to H A L S is reduced and the life of the film is prolonged. these compounds are called Co-Stabilizers.
Co-Stabilizers diffuse the light, imparting to the film a slight milky aspect. This has in most cases a positive agronomic effect (more uniform distribution of light in the greenhouse, less burnings of the plants due to direct sun rays). For this reason, H A L S + Co-Stabilizer formulations are highly recommended in areas with strong sunshine, high temperatures and high usage of pesticides
- “It should be noted that Co-stabilizers improve the resistance of the film against normal use of pesticides but do not offer adequate protection in case of use of sulfur or excessive application of pesticides”
Based on HALS and UVA
UV10288-UVhUVA / UV15382-UVhUVA / UV20575-UVhUVA
Are recommended for 01 TO 02 seasons, provided, and avoid excessive use of pesticides or sulfur, as these products interact with HALS and can be limit their efficiency.
