Coating Effects
Ciba TINUVIN 292 is an excellent general purpose liquid hindered amine light stabilizer
especially developed for coatings. Its cost efficiency provides significantly extended life
time to coatings by minimizing paint defects such as cracking and gloss loss.

The dispersion of TINUVIN 292 in water may be simplified by dilution with a water miscible
solvent such as butylcarbitol.
Applications
TINUVIN 292 may be used after adequate testing in a broad range of applications such as
automotive refinish coatings
industrial topcoats
coil coatings
wood stains or trade sales paints and varnishes
radiation curable coatings
Its high cost 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
alkyds (air drying)
water borne acrylics
phenolics, vinyls
radiation curable acrylics
The weatherability of such coatings can be significantly improved by use of a combination
of TINUVIN 292 with a UV absorber, e.g. TINUVIN 1130, TINUVIN 384, or TINUVIN 328.
These synergistic combinations give automotive coatings superior protection against
gloss reduction, cracking, blistering, delamination and color change.
The light stabilizers may be added in two coat automotive finishes to the base and clear
coat. The optimum protection should be determined by evaluating a broad range of
concentrations.
Possible interactions of TINUVIN 292 with paint ingredients such as acid catalysts should
be carefully evaluated. Should a negative interaction occur, TINUVIN 123 would be
recommended.
The optimum additive levels and ratios should be determined from experimental trials
covering a range of concentrations.
