Why Clear Cases for Galaxy S25 Turn Yellow — and How HALS Fixes It
Most Galaxy S25 clear cases available on Amazon turn yellow within three to six weeks of outdoor use. The culprit is UV radiation breaking down the standard polycarbonate or TPU polymer chains in the case material, producing a chromophore-generating discoloration that no cleaning can reverse. HALS — Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer — is a class of photostabilizer originally developed for automotive coatings that intercepts the UV-generated radical chain reactions before they produce visible yellowing. The Gorilla Cases Galaxy S25 clear case uses HALS-treated optical polycarbonate that has been tested to resist visible yellowing for 18-plus months under standard outdoor UV exposure, keeping the Icy Blue, Navy, Mint, and Silver Shadow Galaxy S25 titanium finish visible and brilliant far longer than any non-HALS alternative.
