Tinuvin® CarboProtect®
Unique benzotriazole UV absorber for far-red (above 400 nm) UV absorption ideal for carbon fiber and other composite substrates.
Tinuvin Carboprotect is a solid, very red-shifted benzotriazole-based UV absorber designed for solvent-based clear or semi-transparent coatings over carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) or glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP) where fibers are embedded in an epoxy matrix. It blocks the destructive radiation from UV and near-UV visible light and keeps the matrix intact. This allows customers, besides benefiting from the excellent mechanical properties, to also utilize the high aesthetical value of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics for design purposes.
