Damage caused by the action of light plays a role that should not be underestimated
in many different areas of life. The destructive effects of light can lead to
irreversible changes in organic materials, such as adhesives.
Although adhesives are generally located between two substrates
that are being bonded together, damage can still occur in such cases at the
edges of the adhesive bond or if the substrates are permeable to light which
may produce discolouration or the loss of adhesive properties.
This UV/Light Stabilizers Center is designed to help you understand more about
the use of UV/Light Stabilizers in the adhesives & sealant industry, focusing
on how to reduce the damage done by light, oxygen and heat to adhesives.
