Aura technology protects PC parts

摘要

PROCESSING Bayer Material-Science says its Aura infusion technology, licensed to Radco Infusion Technologies, improves the UV protection of injection moulded or extruded polycarbonate parts."Because UV light attacks polycarbonate at the surface, UV protection is most effective when concentrated there," says the company. "Yet, with traditional compounding of additives it is not possible to concentrate protection at the surface. This limits UV absorber effectiveness in outdoor applications, such as lenses and covers for lighting fixtures, where protection from sunlight is essentialto durability and clarity."
