Hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) are the mainstream products in the light stabilizer market and have huge potential for industry development.

Light stabilizers are additives that inhibit or slow down the degradation of polymer materials caused by photooxidation. They can shield and absorb ultraviolet energy and prevent photoaging of polymer materials. According to different mechanisms of action, light stabilizers can be divided into four categories: UV absorbers, UV quenchers, light shielding agents, and hindered amine light stabilizers.

Hindered amine light stabilizers are the fastest growing category in the light stabilizer market. They have the functions of capturing free radicals, decomposing hydroperoxides, capturing heavy metals, and quenching singlet oxygen. They can well inhibit the degradation of polymer materials and organic compounds. Photooxygen degradation reaction is widely used in the production of plastics, rubber, synthetic fibers, coatings and other materials, especially in the production of thin products such as films and fibers. The end application fields include automobiles, packaging, construction, agriculture, etc.

Hindered amine light stabilizers are organic amine compounds with steric hindrance effect. According to different parent molecular structures, they can be divided into three series: piperidine derivatives, imidazolone derivatives and azacycloalkanone derivatives. stabilizer. Among them, piperidine-based light stabilizers are currently the most developed and researched type of hindered amine light stabilizers with the largest market demand. They can also be subdivided into tetramethylpiperidine-based light stabilizers and pentamethylpiperidine-based light stabilizers. Two kinds of agents.

According to the“Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer (HALS) Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center shows that the global light stabilizer market size will be approximately US$1.53 billion in 2022, a year-on-year growth of 6.2%. Among them, hindered amine light stabilizers are currently recognized as a type of high-efficiency light stabilizers. With their advantages constantly highlighted, hindered amine light stabilizers have occupied more than 70% of the light stabilizer market and become a mainstream product in the market. The global hindered amine light stabilizer market size will exceed US$1 billion in 2022, and the industry has huge development potential.

Globally, the major companies in the hindered amine light stabilizer market include BASF, Chemipro, Addivant, Shipro, ADK, Clariant, Songyuan, Saab, Chengbei Chemical and other international companies, as well as Suqian Liansheng Technology, Beijing Tiangang Auxiliary, Hunan Yue Chemical Chemical Industry, Anhui Xingxin New Materials, Baoding Lekai Chemical, Zhejiang Hetang Technology, Hebei Li’an Longkaiya New Materials, Yantai Xinxing Chemical, Dongguan Ruichi Chemical, Suqian Zhenxing Chemical and other Chinese companies.

Industry analysts said that among them, there are a large number of hindered amine light stabilizer manufacturers in my country. After continuous accumulation of experience, With the improvement of technological level, my country has become the main producer of hindered amine light stabilizers in the world. However, due to the low level of technology and R&D, the global high-end hindered amine light stabilizer market is currently dominated by international companies, while local companies are still concentrated in the mid- to low-end markets. In the future, they need to continue to increase innovation and promote continuous competitiveness. Improvement, thereby prompting local companies to accelerate their entry into the global high-end market of hindered amine stabilizers.
