New Report Studies North American UV Light Stabilizer Market
DUBLIN - Research and Markets has added a new report to its offering, 2013 Report on the North American UV Light Stabilizer Market - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast to 2018.
Wood-protection coatings consist of additives such as UV light stabilizers and heat stabilizers that maintain the properties of the wood surface and prevent it from external environments. UV light stabilizers prevent degradation of lignin when exposed to UV rays and impart UV resistance properties to the wood coatings. These stabilizers can be segmented into two groups: hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) and UV absorbers (UVA). Benzophenones and benzotriazoles are among the two most widely used UV light absorbers, which act by absorbing UV light to provide effective resistance for short-term exposures.
