Antioxidants are stabilizing additives used to protect materials—particularly polymers, lubricants, and fuels—from degradation caused by oxidation. During processing or long-term exposure to heat, oxygen, and light, organic materials can generate free radicals that initiate chain reactions, leading to discoloration, embrittlement, loss of mechanical strength, and reduced performance.
Key Benefits:
Interrupts oxidative chain reactions by scavenging or decomposing free radicals and peroxides
Protects polymers, lubricants, and fuels from thermal and oxidative degradation
Maintains mechanical strength, color, and overall material performance
Enhances longevity and stability of formulations
Typical Applications:
Polyolefins, PVC, and engineering plastics
Rubber and elastomer formulations
Lubricants, greases, and oils
Fuel and biofuel stabilization
Coatings, adhesives, and polymer composites
Custom Solutions:
