Along with polyethylene (PE), polypropylene is one of the most versatile types of plastic. In fact, polypropylene is found in nearly every market sector that uses plastics. A disadvantage of polypropylene, however, is its high degradation rate when exposed to UV light sources, such as the sun. Light and heat cause the bonds holding the polymer together to break, weakening the plastic. Without the proper UV light stabilization package, your stadium seat would suffer from discoloration and the UV degradation of plastics, becoming brittle and eventually starting to crack after only a few months of outdoor exposure. CYASORB CYNERGY SOLUTIONS B877 Stabilizer will protect the structure and appearance of your seat, even after several years of outdoor exposure.
Aside from UV light stabilizers, other additives are added to the polypropylene. Typically, stadium seat formulations also contain pigments for coloration and flame retardants, depending on the geographical location of the project.
