    Solvay introduces breakthrough solution to stabilize the performance of polyolefin materials exposed to UVC disinfection applications
    .

    Traditional UV stabilizers are designed for either UVA or UVB and are not optimized for UVC protection because UVC is usually filtered out by the earth's atmosphere
    .
    Solvay has developed UVC-specific stabilization technology that is designed to be widely used in the disinfection of high-touch surfaces to help humans defeat the new coronavirus

    .
    As the first UVC stabilization technology for demanding hygienic applications, this technology represents an important milestone for the polyolefin industry

    .

    At the same time, Solvay has also introduced gamma stabilization technology, which can improve the gamma radiation resistance of medical devices made of polyolefin plastics in hospitals, while imparting high whiteness to the surface
    .
    With this innovative technology, polyolefin-containing medical supplies can be directly gamma sterilized without affecting their appearance and mechanical properties, while maintaining their durability

    .

    It is worth mentioning that both UVC and gamma ray stabilization technologies can be customized according to customer needs
    .

    In addition to the above two new stabilization technologies, Solvay has introduced an innovative portfolio of antioxidants to promote stable polymer melt viscosity during processing and improve the stabilization of polymer materials in sterile medical applications sex
    .
    These products meet the changing needs of personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturers

    .
    Successful applications include the CYANOX® range of antioxidants for spunbond PP fibers used in protective equipment such as masks, surgical gowns, latex gloves and droppers

    .
    These high-performance antioxidants have been shown to mitigate the effects on fiber size, denier, adhesion, and degradability, effectively reducing medical device rejection rates

    .

    "Solvay's stabilization technology can be an important part of polymer materials to improve degradation resistance and production efficiency
    ," said Sophie Poelmans, global market manager for polymer additives.
    "How important is sterilization in some cases? It cannot be overemphasized that customers can always rely on Solvay's advanced and unique light stabilizers and antioxidants to curb the spread of the virus

    .
    "

    Solvay continues to innovate and develop disruptive solutions to create a clean and safe environment
    .
    Solvay's professional technical team can respond quickly to customer inquiries and provide in-depth application knowledge to meet regional needs and respond to changing market conditions
