Solvay met au point les premiers stabilisants des rayons UV-C pour la protection des surfaces en polyoléfines

Solvay met au point les premiers stabilisants des rayons UV-C pour la protection des surfaces en polyoléfines. (Photo: Solvay, PR032)Solvay, leader mondial des matériaux de spécialité, a lancé un nouveau portefeuille de stabilisants des rayons UV-C. Ces solutions innovantes sont destinées aux applications sanitaires exigeantes, dans lesquelles des surfaces en polyoléfines sont traitées à la lumière ultraviolette (UV), plus précisément par la fraction UV-C du spectre (longueurs d’onde de 200 à 280 nm), dans le but de lutter contre la COVID et les infections nosocomiales. La mise au point de cette nouvelle technologie brevetée représente une étape importante pour l’industrie des polyoléfines, car elle est la première à traiter les problèmes de dégradation, de décoloration et de microfissuration des polyoléfines dues à une exposition fréquente au rayonnement UV-C.
