Antioxidant 3114

Product Overview

Antioxidant 3114 represents a class of high-efficiency sterically hindered phenolic antioxidants widely utilized in the stabilization of organic polymers. Chemically known as Tris-(3,5-di-tert-butylhydroxybenzyl) isocyanurate, this compound is engineered to provide superior protection against oxidative degradation during processing and extended service life. Its unique molecular structure ensures minimal volatility while maintaining robust thermal stability, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial applications where material integrity is paramount.

As a primary antioxidant, it functions by scavenging free radicals generated during polymer exposure to heat and oxygen. This mechanism effectively interrupts the auto-oxidation cycle, preventing chain scission and cross-linking that lead to material failure. Our manufacturing process adheres to strict quality control standards, ensuring consistent batch-to-batch performance and high purity levels suitable for color-sensitive formulations.

Key Specifications

Industrial Applications

This antioxidant is particularly valued in the production of polypropylene fibers and other polymers where color stability is critical. Its low volatility ensures that it remains within the polymer matrix even under high-temperature processing conditions, providing long-term protection without blooming or exudation. Furthermore, Antioxidant 3114 exhibits a strong synergistic effect when combined with phosphite antioxidants, such as AN168 and AN626, enhancing overall stabilization performance.

• Primary antioxidant for organic polymers and resins
