Latex, a versatile natural or synthetic polymer dispersion, is the foundation for a wide array of products, from everyday household items to critical medical supplies. Maintaining the integrity and performance of these latex-based goods requires effective stabilization against degradation. Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd. highlights the exceptional role of Poly(dicyclopentadiene-co-p-cresol) (CAS 68610-51-5), often referred to as Antioxidant 616, as a key antioxidant for latex formulations.

Poly(dicyclopentadiene-co-p-cresol) is a polymeric, sterically hindered phenolic antioxidant that exhibits excellent compatibility with latex systems. It is easily formable into emulsions, allowing for straightforward incorporation into latex compounds. Its primary function in this context is to provide robust protection against oxidative degradation, which can lead to discoloration, loss of elasticity, and embrittlement over time. As a non-staining and non-discoloring agent, it is particularly valuable for light-colored latex products where aesthetic appeal is paramount.

The efficacy of Antioxidant 616 makes it the standard antioxidant for a multitude of latex products. This includes essential items such as household and medical gloves, condoms, latex foam, latex rings, and carpet adhesives. Its protective qualities also extend to medical latex products, baby pacifiers, bath mats, hot water bottles, and paper coatings. The low volatility and minimal migration characteristics ensure that the protective shield remains effective throughout the product's lifespan, maintaining both functional performance and safety standards.

Furthermore, this versatile antioxidant is crucial for natural latex products used in automotive and electronic accessories, encompassing styrene-butadiene and carboxylated styrene-butadiene latex formulations. Its ability to prevent premature degradation ensures that these components maintain their resilience and tensile strength, even under demanding conditions. The application of Poly(dicyclopentadiene-co-p-cresol) in latex is a testament to its reliable performance.
