Applications and Mineral oils exposed to UV and daylight where oil film thickness is :
typical treat levels greater than 100 microns (CHIMASSORB 81 and TINUVIN 320) } 0.05-0.1%
recommended less than 100 microns (TINUVIN 765) }

Benefits - Prevents lubricant films from photo oxidation (discolouration)

- Offers good solubility in mineral oil
- Protection against thermooxidation and UV light when used in combination with
Irganox L antioxidants

Restriction TINUVIN 765 may crystallise if stored below 0 °C, but can be easily liquefied by slight warming
