Premium Antioxidants for Stability

Description

Premium Antioxidants for Stability are designed to provide polymers with superior protection against thermal and oxidative degradation. As polymers are subjected to processing heat and long-term environmental exposure, antioxidants are essential to maintain their structural integrity, mechanical properties, and appearance. Our high-performance antioxidants are engineered to stabilize a wide range of plastic and rubber materials, enhancing durability and ensuring optimal performance across diverse industrial applications.

At A&D Polymers, we understand the critical role stability plays in the lifecycle of polymer-based products. Our solutions not only prevent premature aging but also contribute to processability improvements, enabling manufacturers to achieve higher quality standards and production efficiency.

Functional Properties

Premium Antioxidants for Stability offer a carefully balanced combination of primary and secondary antioxidant systems. Key functional properties include:

• Thermal Stability Enhancement: Protects polymers during high-temperature processing and service.

• Oxidative Resistance: Inhibits the propagation of free radicals, delaying material degradation.

• Color Protection: Maintains original color and prevents yellowing over time.

• Processability Improvement: Reduces viscosity changes during extrusion, molding, and compounding.

• Long-Term Aging Resistance: Extends service life under harsh environmental conditions.

Our antioxidants are available in various physical forms such as powders, granules, and non-dusting pastilles to suit different processing requirements.

Areas of Application

Premium Antioxidants for Stability are widely used across numerous industries, including:

• Automotive: Enhancing the durability of interior and exterior plastic components.

• Construction: Increasing the longevity of pipes, insulation materials, and roofing membranes.

• Packaging: Preserving material properties in films, bottles, and containers.

• Footwear: Improving the resilience and aesthetic retention of polymer-based soles and uppers.

• Electrical and Electronics: Protecting cable insulation and housing components from thermal aging.

• Industrial Goods: Stabilizing technical parts, gaskets, and hoses subjected to mechanical stress and heat.

Our antioxidants are suitable for a wide variety of polymers including polyolefins (PE, PP), PVC, ABS, polyurethane, styrenics, and engineering plastics.
