Applications CHIMASSORB 944 areas of application include polyolefins (PP, PE), olefin copolymers such as EVA as
well as blends of polypropylene with elastomers.
In addition in certain instances CHIMASSORB 944 is highly effective in polyacetals polyamides,
polyurethanes, flexible and rigid PVC, as well as PVC blends and in certain styrenic elastomer and
adhesive specialty applications.
Features/benefits CHIMASSORB 944 imparts excellent light stability to thin articles, particularly fibers and films. In
thick cross sections it is specifically suitable for polyethylene articles.
CHIMASSORB 944 is highly effective as a long-term thermal stabilizer in thin and thick articles and
shows good extraction resistance.
