UV STABILIZER FOR OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS PP-R and PP-RCT are susceptible to UV light which can cause degradation by photo oxidation. Avient’s UV stabilizers provide pipe systems used outdoors with long-lasting efficient protection from the damaging effects of UV light. Avient’s flame retardants can be combined with color in a single product for convenience—e.g. the standard red color typically used for fire sprinkler systems.
