The addition of Hostavin light stabilizers considerably delays any decomposition of the binder and protects the substrate from the UV light induced degradation. This can be observed by higher gloss retention, reduced blistering and crack formation or chalking,  improved long-term adhesion and subsequently will give a longer durability to the applied coating. As one of the pioneers in the segment of light stabilizers, Clariant offers a comprehensive range of Hostavin light stabilizers for all kind of paints and coating systems: UV Absorbers, Hindered Amines Light Stabilizers (HALS), Light stabilizer Dispersions, Optimized light protection systems, Graftable HALS
