Stabilisatoren

In surface technology, stabilizers play an important role in improving and maintaining the desired properties of coatings and surfaces. Stabilizers are substances that serve to increase the chemical stability, mechanical strength, adhesion and resistance to environmental influences of coatings.

These stabilizers can take various forms, including additives, pigments or special coating systems. Their functions vary depending on the requirements of the application, but can include improving UV stability, inhibiting oxidation, suppressing color changes or increasing scratch resistance.

In practice, stabilizers can take the form of UV absorbers, antioxidants, light stabilizers, adhesion promoters or other specific additives. They are used in a variety of industries and applications, including automotive, construction, electronics, cosmetics and more. Their use helps to improve the durability, performance and aesthetics of coatings and surfaces by protecting against premature degradation and deterioration.
