Tinuvin 292

Tinuvin® 292 by BASF is a liquid hindered amine light stabilizer especially developed for coatings. It provides a significantly extended lifetime to coatings by minimizing paint defects such as cracking, reduction, blistering, delamination and loss of gloss. 

It is a versatile HALS with superior performance in both water- and solvent-based coatings. It is compatible with one- and two-component polyurethanes (water and solvent), phenolics, vinylic, thermoplastic acrylics, thermosetting acrylics, alkyds and polyesters. Tinuvin® 292 is applicable in wood stains or do-it-yourself paints, automotive-, industrial-, exterior construction- and radiation-curable coatings.

The performance of TINUVIN 292 can be significantly improved when used in combination with a UV absorber such as recommended below. These synergistic combinations give coatings superior protection against gloss reduction, cracking, blistering, delamination and color change.

Application:

Tinuvin® 292 may be used after adequate testing for applications such as

- automotive coatings

- industrial topcoats

- coil coatings

- wood stains or do-it-yourself paints

- radiation curable coatings. 

Its high efficiency has been demonstrated in coatings based on a variety of binders such as

- one- and two-component polyurethanes

- thermoplastic acrylics (physical drying)

- thermosetting acrylics, alkyds and polyesters

- alkyd (air drying)

- water borne acrylics

- phenolics, vinylics

- radiation curable acrylics
