In the realm of polymer science and manufacturing, the quest for enhanced durability and processing efficiency is constant. Phosphite Antioxidant 168 (CAS 31570-04-4) is a critical additive that plays a pivotal role in achieving these goals. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. understands the significance of this compound for B2B clients.

What Makes Antioxidant 168 Essential?

Antioxidant 168 is a secondary antioxidant, meaning it works by neutralizing intermediate degradation products, specifically hydroperoxides, which are formed during polymer processing and aging. Unlike primary antioxidants that scavenge free radicals, phosphite antioxidants like Antioxidant 168 target hydroperoxides, preventing them from breaking down into more reactive species that initiate chain degradation. Its key attributes include:

  • Exceptional Processing Stability: It is indispensable for polymers processed at elevated temperatures, protecting them from thermal-oxidative degradation and maintaining molecular weight.
  • High Hydrolytic Stability: This feature ensures the antioxidant's effectiveness even when exposed to moisture, a common challenge in many polymer applications.
  • Low Volatility: Essential for applications involving high processing temperatures, as it minimizes loss of the additive, ensuring consistent protection and efficiency.
  • Synergistic Effect: When combined with primary antioxidants (e.g., phenolic antioxidants), it creates a powerful stabilization system, offering enhanced protection against both processing degradation and long-term thermal aging. This makes it an attractive option for those looking to buy the most effective polymer protection.
  • Color Improvement: Helps prevent discoloration and maintain the original color of polymers.

Key Applications Across Industries:

The versatile nature of Antioxidant 168 makes it a valuable component in numerous polymer-based products. When you purchase this chemical, you are enabling its use in:

  • Polyolefins (PE, PP): Enhances the thermal stability during extrusion and molding, critical for films, pipes, automotive components, and packaging.
  • Engineering Plastics (PA, PC, PET): Protects these high-performance materials during demanding processing, ensuring they meet stringent mechanical requirements.
  • Styrenic Polymers (PS, ABS): Improves processing efficiency and product lifespan for applications in consumer electronics, appliances, and automotive interiors.
  • Adhesives and Coatings: Contributes to the long-term performance and color stability of these materials.
  • Elastomers: Prevents degradation in synthetic rubbers, preserving their flexibility and elasticity.
