UV Protection in GutterFoam
GutterFoam has always had protective UV coating to prevent damage from the daily sun’s rays. We have made a change in how we integrate the UV protection in the foam. The change is the implementation of a UV inhibitor within the foam manufacturing process in compared to using a coating. There are many benefits to this change in our UV protection such as:
- To prevent degradation in fluorescent lighting
- Mitigate the damaging effects of the sun by absorbing UV radiation and converting it into thermal energy
- Improve the durability of PU foam and reduce surface degradation caused by sunlight and other UV light sources
- Ultraviolet Light Absorbers (UVA) filters deteriorate UV light and help prevent color change and delamination of coatings, adhesives, and sealants
- Hindered-Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) trap free radicals once they are formed and are effective in retaining surface properties such as gloss and preventing cracking and chalking of paints
This change in our UV protection will help keep your GutterFoam protecting your gutter system for years to come! Place your order with us today on our website or give us a call 414-446-8778.
