Martogg have partnered with BASF for over 20 years to develop innovations for the construction, packaging, mining, agriculture and life-cycle management sectors.  Exposure to sunlight, and some artificial lights, can have adverse effects on the life of plastic products. Ultraviolet light can initiate chemical reactions in polymers which result in discoloration and the breakdown of chemical bonds and loss of physical properties. To prevent this effect occurring, and the integrity of the safety helmet being compromised, BASF’s UV stabilisers were added to the polymer formulation.
