Benzotriazole UV Absorber
Characterization TINUVIN 326 is a UV absorber of the hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole class, which imparts outstanding
light stability to plastics and other organic substrates.
Chemical name Phenol, 2-(5-chloro-2H-benzotriazole-2-yl)-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl-
CAS number 3896-11-5

Molecular weight 315.8 g/mol
Applications TINUVIN 326 is especially suited for polyolefins and cold cured polyesters.
Features/benefits TINUVIN 326 has a wide range of indirect food approvals in polyolefins. It has a low volatility at
high temperatures and high resistance to thermal degradation and can therefore be used without
significant loss or decomposition in the polyolefin compounding and molding processes.
In the use for the UV protection of polyester resins, TINUVIN 326 does not form colored complexes
with the metallic salts used for the curing process of these resins.
Product forms Code: TINUVIN 326 TINUVIN 326 FL

Appearance: Slightly yellow powder Slightly yellow flakes
Guidelines for use Polyolefins:

It is recommended to use TINUVIN 326 with a HALS type lightstabilizer system for best results. The
recommended concentrations range for PP applications from 0.1-0.5%, for PE applications from
0.1% to 0.4%.
Polyester resins:
The recommended levels for normal polyester resins range from 0.2% to 0.3%, while for
chlorinated, flame retardant polyester resins the recommendation is 0.5%.
