What additives prevent yellowing in transparent polyethylene bar stools?
Transparent polyethylene bar stools are popular for their modern aesthetic, but yellowing over time can diminish their appeal. To prevent this, specific additives are incorporated during manufacturing. UV stabilizers, such as hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), are highly effective in blocking harmful UV rays that cause discoloration. Antioxidants like phenolic or phosphite compounds also help by slowing oxidative degradation. Additionally, optical brighteners can mask early signs of yellowing. For long-term clarity, a combination of these additives ensures durable, transparent polyethylene bar stools that resist yellowing even under prolonged sunlight exposure.
