The top five UV-resistant plastics
Injection molding is a technology that molds molten plastic into specific shapes. Some plastic products need to be used outdoors, and the strength of plastic products will gradually decrease after a long period of exposure to UV light. In this case, we can choose engineering plastic with UV-resistant that can extend the service life of the product. Let us list the top five UV-resistant plastics.
1. Acrylic
Acrylic is the only material that can resist UV, while acrylic is a transparent material, its hardness and scratch resistance are good, is a better choice for outdoor product manufacturing. At current, acrylic is the raw material for processing outdoor signs and lamps.
2. HDPE
HDPE is a thermoplastic particle with excellent processing properties. It is an material for open-air equipment,toys, and pipe systems.processing,
3. PC
PC has strong impact resistance, harder that HDPE, can withstand large temperature fluctuations, can be used to produce helmet, goggles, and protective shield. PC compared to other materials are more expensive, but its service life and UV resistance are better that other materials.
4. PAI
PAI is a high-performance thermoplastic with excellent UV resistance and good ductility. PAI has excellent strength and wear resistance and is often used for surgical instrument and other high precision products.
5. PVDF
PVDF is a UV resistant plastic with excellent thermal stability and abrasion resistance, it has two forms, which have different properties and are suitable for different applications, such as piping, valve components.
