UV-1 (MPI Chemie)

Technical Datasheet | Supplied by MPI Chemie

UV-1 (MPI Chemie) by MPI Chemie is a liquid formamidine UV absorber. It is highly effective for the light stabilization of PUR. It is used in elastomers (spray, RIM), microcellular foams, integral skin foams for footwear and conventional rigid & flexible foams. It is added to PUR systems as a solution in the polyol component (polyether or polyester-based). UV-1 (MPI Chemie) dissipates the absorbed light energy from UV rays as heat by reversible intramolecular proton transfer. This reduces the absorption of UV rays by the polymer matrix and hence reduces the rate of weathering.

Compatible Products Based on HSP Distance

HSP distance provides an indication of compatibility. It is based upon the “like seeks like” principle. The smaller the distance between ingredients, the more compatible they are predicted to be.
