Abstract: | Loss of light stabilizers from automotive finishes can significantly reduce the durability of coatings on plastic substrates.
Minimizing movement by retaining the stabilizers in the targeted layer can greatly improve coating longevity. This article
examines the migratory patterns of a series of traditional UVA and HALS additives in fully formulated 1K silane crosslinked
coatings applied over both plastic and steel substrates, comparing their migratory patterns to that of reactable light stabilizers
containing hydroxyl functionality.
Analysis of the coating layers with the various UVAs and HALS revealed that functionalization of the light stabilizer with
reactable hydroxy groups can prevent migration into the plastic; whereas nonreactable light stabilizers migrate into lower
coating system layers and even into the plastic substrate. The greatest extent of migration does not occur during initial
cure of the wet coating, but during exposure. Significant depletion of the nonreactable light stabilizers from the topcoat
occurs as early as 1500 hours of Xenon boro/boro exposure.
