In addition to TINOGARD Q (liquid) a new powder version TINOGARD QS is now available
  
Ciba® ESQ™ Technology - A new technology to prevent light induced degradation
- Excited State Quencher (ESQ™) – Protection beyond UV absorption
- Provides better performance than current stabilization systems
- Strong performance at low concentration
- Exceptional synergies and boosting effects with TINOGARD® UV absorbers and antioxidants
- Effective protection increases flexibility
Ciba® ESQ™ Excited State Quencher technology reduces the potential for degradation reactions by minimizing the lifetime of excited states and inhibiting side reactions of excited state intermediates.
Combined with Ciba® TINOGARD® and CIBAFAST® Benzotriazole UV Light Stabilizers ESQ™ exhibits boosting effects yielding in levels of protection beyond what was previously possible.
| Traditional mode of stabilization | New mode of stabilization
(Excited State Quencher) ESQ™ |
| Ultraviolet light absorption | Does not act as traditional ultraviolet light absorber |
| Utilized benzophenone and benzotriazoles | New chemistry |
| Sometimes high concentration requirements | Lower concentration requirements |
| Limited synergies | Exhibits strong boosting effects |
| Associated costs for formulators | Better at lower cost |
ESQ™ - Revolutionary performance vs state-of-the-art chemistries
