AD-304 is incorporated into resin to reduce UV-related degradation of the polymer. Its primary role is not to add color or guarantee shade stability.
Where it may fit
- Outdoor plastic parts
- Products routinely exposed to sunlight
- Applications seeking to reduce yellowing, gloss loss, or brittleness
Documented resins and processes
Published compatibility is a starting point, not automatic approval of the finished part.
Resins
- High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
- Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
- Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- General-purpose and impact polystyrene
- Rigid and flexible PVC compounds
- Solid TPU
- EVA
- SAN
Processes
- Injection molding
- Extrusion
- Blow molding
- Thermoforming
What the formulation contributes
- Microsphere presentation
- Use across several processes
- Focused on protection of the polymer structure
Before selecting the grade
Define the resin, process, wall thickness, target appearance, and acceptance method. A sample in a different material does not replace a production-representative trial.
Limits to respect:
- It does not replace weathering evaluation of the finished part.
- It should not be described as a color-protection additive.
- Compatibility and dosage must be confirmed through a process trial.
