Databook of UV Stabilizers

The Databook of UV Stabilizers, 3rd Edition presents structured data on chemical additives designed to protect commercial materials from light degradation. Authored by Anna Wypych, an M.Sc in chemical engineering specializing in polymer additives, and George Wypych, a Ph.D. chemical engineer with 18 technical books, this 675-page reference work supports materials scientists, plastics engineers, product designers, and academic researchers. The volume establishes clear baseline values for evaluating additive performance across industrial applications.

The text covers major compound categories through detailed thematic arcs. Chapters detail organic UV absorbers, carbon black absorbers, inorganic absorbers, and fibrous UV stabilizers. Additional sections examine hindered amine UV stabilizers, secondary UV stabilizers, and documented examples of synergistic mixtures.

Organized into five distinct sections, the publication catalogs compound information using over 100 data fields for each listed substance. This thorough reference design offers practical data access for technical teams selecting and applying stabilizers in laboratory and industrial workflows.
