1. Plastics & Polymers  

   - Polyolefins (PP, PE, HDPE, LDPE): Used in packaging films, outdoor furniture, automotive parts, and agricultural films** to prevent yellowing, brittleness, and loss of mechanical strength caused by UV exposure.  

   - PVC Products: Stabilizes flexible PVC (e.g., cables, synthetic leather) against UV-induced degradation.  

   - Engineering Plastics: Enhances UV resistance in ABS, polycarbonate (PC), and polyesters.  

2. Coatings & Inks 

   - Paints: Protects architectural coatings (exterior paints), automotive coatings, and marine coatings from fading and chalking.  

   - Inks: Used in outdoor printing inks (e.g., billboards, packaging) to improve colorfastness under sunlight.  

3. Rubber Industry 

   - Extends the lifespan of tires, seals, hoses, and gaskets by preventing UV and ozone-induced cracking.  

4. Personal Care & Cosmetics  

   - Sunscreens: Acts as a secondary UV filter (not a primary sunscreen agent) to boost SPF performance in lotions and creams (*subject to regional regulations*).  

   - Hair Care Products: Protects hair from UV damage in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products.  

5. Textiles  

   - Applied to synthetic fabrics (e.g., polyester, nylon) via finishing treatments to create UV-protective clothing** (UPF-rated garments).  

6. Adhesives & Sealants 

   - Prevents UV degradation in industrial adhesives and construction sealants exposed to sunlight.  

7. Agricultural Films  

   - Used in greenhouse films to block harmful UV rays while maintaining transparency for plant growth.
