Antioxidant 168
Antioxidant 168 is a crucial phosphite ester antioxidant designed to protect polymers and plastics from degradation. Its key function is to prevent oxidative damage and yellowing that can occur during high-temperature processing. With excellent low toxicity, low volatility, and high thermal stability, it reliably decomposes hydroperoxides, thereby preserving the integrity of materials and extending their performance life. Its effectiveness is further amplified when used in combination with other antioxidants, showcasing a powerful synergistic effect.
- Preventing polymer yellowing: This stabilizer is highly effective in preventing the undesirable yellowing of plastics, ensuring aesthetic appeal and product quality.
- Improve thermal processing stability: It significantly enhances the stability of polymer materials during demanding thermal processing steps, reducing degradation.
- Synergistic effect antioxidant 1010 168: When paired with primary antioxidants like Antioxidant 1010, it demonstrates a synergistic effect, boosting overall protective capabilities.
- Low toxicity plastic stabilizer: Its low toxicity profile makes it a safer choice for a wide array of applications, including those with indirect food contact.
