Polyurethanes (PU) and polyamides (PA) are versatile polymers prized for their unique properties, finding applications across a vast spectrum of industries. However, to truly unlock their potential and ensure long-term performance, especially in demanding environments, the careful selection and integration of specialized additives are essential. Among these, high-performance antioxidants play a critical role in protecting these polymers from degradation.

The Degradation Challenges for PU and PA

Both polyurethanes and polyamides are susceptible to various forms of degradation. Polyurethanes, known for their flexibility and resilience, can suffer from hydrolysis and UV radiation, leading to yellowing and loss of elasticity. Polyamides, often used for their strength and abrasion resistance, can also degrade due to heat and oxidation, impacting their mechanical integrity. Addressing these vulnerabilities is key to maximizing the lifespan and functionality of products made from these materials.

The Advantage of Liquid Phosphite Antioxidants

Our liquid phosphite antioxidant is specifically formulated to provide exceptional protection for polar polymers like polyurethanes and polyamides. Its liquid form allows for easy dispersion and incorporation during the manufacturing process, ensuring uniform distribution and optimal efficacy. Key advantages include:

  • Enhanced Thermal Stability: It effectively prevents thermal decomposition and discoloration, crucial for processing and end-use applications involving elevated temperatures.
  • Superior Hydrolysis Resistance: Unlike many conventional antioxidants, our liquid phosphite exhibits excellent resistance to hydrolysis, making it ideal for applications exposed to moisture or humidity.
  • Protection Against Environmental Stressors: It offers robust defense against industrial exhaust gases, a common challenge in many manufacturing and urban environments.
  • Dual Functionality: In addition to antioxidant and UV stabilizing properties, it also contributes to flame retardancy, offering a comprehensive protection package.
