FAQ
What is UV resistant PP?
UV resistant PP is a polypropylene compound formulated with UV stabilizers (HALS, UV absorbers) to resist photo-oxidative degradation from sunlight exposure.
How long does UV resistant PP last outdoors?
Depending on the formulation and exposure conditions, UV resistant PP can maintain performance for 5-10 years. YicaiPlas materials are tested to 2000h QUV accelerated aging.
What is the difference between UV resistant PP and regular PP?
Regular PP degrades rapidly under UV exposure, losing color and mechanical properties within months. UV resistant PP contains stabilizer packages that extend outdoor life to 5-10+ years.
Is UV resistant PP suitable for automotive applications?
Yes. UV resistant PP is widely used in automotive exterior applications including bumper fascia, grilles, and exterior trim requiring long-term weathering resistance.
Can UV resistant PP be colored?
Yes. YicaiPlas offers UV stable color masterbatches with lightfastness 7-8 rating for consistent color in outdoor PP applications.
