Tiangang® HS-6608
One-pack system · HS-6608
high concentration UV light stabilizer blend loaded on polypropylene. It provides excellent protection to polymers, especially polypropylenes, TPO and ABS against UV light induced photo-degradations
What it is
Tiangang® HS-6608 is a one-pack system. A one-pack pre-blends light stabilizer, antioxidant and UV absorber for a specific application, so the customer receives one product instead of several to weigh and mix.
Technical data
| Chemical name | Proprietary blend |
| Description | Tiangang® HS-6608 is a high concentration UV light stabilizer blend loaded on polypropylene. It provides excellent protection to polymers, especially polypropylenes, TPO and ABS against UV light induced photo-degradations, as well as head degradations. It does not have observed “blooming” effect, and has low color contribution and volatility, which makes it ideal light stabilizer for applications thick PP, ABS applications. Its granular product form is easy to handle, and disperse. |
| Appearance | Gravity, g/L | Weight Loss, oC (10% wt. loss, 20oC/min, N2) | |
| Tiangang® HS-6608 | White to light yellow granules | ~ 570 - 580 | > 300 |
| Tiangang® HS-6608 | Usually 0.1-0.8% dosage of Tiangang® HS-6608 can impart significantly improved weatherability performances against UV degradation. In certain applications, dosage level can be even higher. Exact dosage level should be determined by experiment on arrange of dosage level. |
| Tiangang® HS-6608 | The use of proper protective equipment is recommended. Excess exposure to the product should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling. Store the product in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials with temperature must not be higher than 35oC. |

Where it is used, and at what loading
Each grade maps to one scenario: agricultural film means pesticide and sulfur resistance; automotive compounding means high-temperature processing plus long exterior life; thin-wall parts mean low volatility. Choosing the wrong scenario is choosing the wrong formulation.
| Agricultural film | 0.3 – 1.5% |
|---|---|
| Automotive compounds | 0.3 – 1.0% |
| Thin-wall and moulded parts | 0.3 – 0.8% |
Figures above are typical industry ranges, not guaranteed values. The actual loading depends on wall thickness, design life and the other additives in the system, and should be established by a loading ladder on the real formulation.
On the line
Weigh the pack against the total target loading and dry-blend with the resin; there is no need to dose the individual components. Where the formulation also contains acidic components (some flame retardants, acidic fillers, sulfur-bearing additives), separate the feed order or switch to a low-basicity grade to avoid protonating the HALS. For lines running many grades in small batches, a one-pack mainly removes the chance of a mixing error.
Choosing between similar grades
Three things decide the choice for HS-6608: carrier-to-matrix match, active content, and application fit. One-pack for PP and ABS compounds; adding singles in multiphase systems tends to distribute unevenly between phases.
Frequently asked questions
Why buy a one-pack instead of blending in-house?
Blending in-house means solving three problems: ratio, dispersion and batch-to-batch consistency. A one-pack solves them at the factory, leaving the line with a single loading figure. For lines running many grades in small batches, what it removes is the chance of a mixing error.
Can the ratio inside the pack be adjusted?
Yes, given volume. Our blending line has a minimum order for custom ratios, because every blend is re-validated for dispersion and homogeneity.
Why are there several grades for one application?
Differences inside an application are larger than they look. Agricultural film in hot humid south China and in high-UV north China need different balances; bumper and instrument panel differ in wall thickness and surface requirement. Finer grade splits keep the tuning margin in the customer's hands.
