Antioxidant, UVĀ Absorber, Pigments for AgricultureĀ Plastics
Plastics in agriculture also refers to Plasticulture. Plasticulture application includes greenhouse covers, tunnel films, mulch films, silage bags, irrigation pipes, nettings, nonwovens, twines, and substrate/ hydroponic bags. In whichĀ greenhouse and mulch film account for almost 70% of theĀ market.
AntioxidantĀ and UVĀ Additives forĀ AgricultureĀ Plastics
HinderedĀ phenolicĀ antioxidant 1076Ā is recommendedĀ forĀ generalĀ LDPEĀ film. ForĀ plasticĀ agricultureĀ plastics,Ā Anti-oxidisingĀ additiveĀ varies. OneĀ thing we shallĀ bearĀ inĀ mindĀ isĀ choosingĀ antioxidant / UVĀ additives carefully. CauseĀ notĀ only weather,Ā geography, but also otherĀ chemicalsĀ likeĀ pesticide couldĀ affectĀ antioxidantĀ performances.Ā HighĀ molecularĀ weightĀ hinderedĀ amineĀ lightĀ stabilizer 783, 944 isĀ recommendedĀ inĀ plasticulture, sometimes together withĀ UVĀ absorber 531.
