They also add important characteristics, such as SWELLCOAT® water-blocking, water repellence, adhe- sion, color, and wear and UV-resistance to these and many other applications.

These materials can also deteriorate with ultraviolet (UV) and chemical exposure from sunlight and cleaning. EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition 65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other reproductive harm). This technology also helps achieve superior grip properties, improving haptics for a better sense of touch and feel while remaining UV- resistant, chemical resistant to DEET and oils, and bio-compatible.

One method is through the use of stabilizers that react with radicals created from UV exposure, inhibiting polymer degradation. The other method is via UV absorption. CESA Light with UVA present absorbs the harmful UV radiation and dissipates it as harmless thermal energy.
