Elastomers, known for their unique flexibility and resilience, are fundamental materials in countless applications, from automotive parts and industrial hoses to footwear and sporting goods. However, these versatile polymers are susceptible to degradation caused by heat, oxygen, and mechanical stress, which can compromise their performance and shorten their lifespan. Antioxidants play a crucial role in protecting elastomers from these detrimental effects, and Antioxidant 1520 has emerged as a leading solution for enhancing their durability.

Antioxidant 1520 is a liquid phenolic antioxidant specifically formulated to provide exceptional processing and long-term thermal stabilization for a wide range of elastomers. Its ability to effectively mitigate thermo-oxidative degradation makes it an invaluable additive for manufacturers looking to improve the inherent stability of their rubber compounds. This protection is vital during high-temperature processing stages, where elastomers are particularly vulnerable to oxidation, ensuring that the material's desirable properties are preserved. Achieving consistent elastomer stabilization is a key goal for many manufacturers.

The benefits of incorporating Antioxidant 1520 extend to its non-staining and non-discoloring characteristics. This is especially important for light-colored or transparent elastomer products where discoloration would be highly undesirable. By preventing color changes, Antioxidant 1520 helps maintain the aesthetic quality of the final product, which is a significant advantage in consumer-facing applications. When discussing non-discoloring rubber additives, Antioxidant 1520 is a prominent choice.

Furthermore, Antioxidant 1520 exhibits low volatility, meaning it remains within the elastomer matrix even at elevated service temperatures. This ensures sustained protection against oxidation throughout the product's lifecycle, contributing to its long-term thermal stability. Its compatibility with various polymerization methods, including emulsion and solution polymerization, makes it suitable for a broad spectrum of elastomers such as BR, SBR, NBR, and SBS. This broad applicability is crucial for diverse rubber processing applications.

Used at recommended levels of 0.05-0.3%, Antioxidant 1520 provides significant protection against degradation, often outperforming traditional antioxidants. It can be used effectively on its own or in synergy with other additives, such as secondary antioxidants and UV stabilizers, to achieve even greater protection.
