Syensqo Strengthens Automotive Polypropylene With Advanced Stabilization Technology
New stabilizer solutions meet rigorous weathering and thermal aging requirements in automotive applications
Syensqo has launched CYASORB CYXTRA V9800 and V9100, a new stabilizer series that enables automotive manufacturers and compounders to expand the use of translucent polypropylene (PP) in both interior and exterior applications, combining modern design aesthetics with long-term durability.
As automotive design increasingly incorporates light, transparency and refined surface effects, materials such as translucent PP offer new creative possibilities. However, their sensitivity to UV exposure and heat has historically limited their use in demanding environments. Syensqo’s new CYASORB CYXTRA address these challenges, helping materials maintain clarity, color and performance over time.
The CYASORB CYXTRA series provides targeted protection for these specific needs:
- CYASORB CYXTRA V9800: Optimized for exterior applications, such as bumpers, requiring higher UV stabilization.
- CYASORB CYXTRA V9100: Engineered for interior applications where higher thermal stabilization is essential.
Key benefits include:
- Discoloration and yellowing control: delivers minimal yellowing under light and heat exposure and provides a minimal contribution to the yellowness index.
- Light transmittance retention: ensures long-term retention of light transmittance and low haze throughout the service life.
- Consistent aesthetics: provides excellent gloss retention and prevents blooming issues under light and heat exposure.
- Extended lifespan: protects mechanical properties and aesthetics, leading to visually appealing products that retain quality throughout their lifecycle. “As automotive design continues to evolve, material performance must keep pace. With our latest CYASORB CYXTRA solutions, we are enabling our customers to confidently expand the use of translucent polypropylene in demanding automotive applications,” said Chen Ning, Vice President, Polymer Additives at Syensqo. “This launch reflects our commitment to delivering high-value innovations that help OEMs achieve both durability and distinctive design.”
Syensqo will exhibit at CHINAPLAS 2026. Come visit and talk to our experts at Hall 7.2, C37.
