Ultraviolet absorbent UV- 783
Characterization
UV 783 is a synergistic mixture of light stabilizer 944 and LS 622. It is a versatile light stabilizer with good extraction resistance, low gasfading and low pigment interaction. UV 783 is particularly well suited for LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE films, tapes and thick sections and for PP films. It is also the product of choice for thick sections where indirect food contact approval is required.

Guidelines for use
Thick sections*: UV stabilization of HDPE, LLDPE, 0.05 1 %
LDPE and PP
Films*: UV stabilization of LLDPE and PP 0.1 1.0 %
