Industrial Applications

Antioxidant CA is extensively utilized across the plastics and rubber industries due to its robust protective properties. It is especially suitable for polymers like butadiene which are prone to oxidation. Key application areas include:

  • Polyolefins: Effective stabilization for LDPE, HDPE, and PP, preventing degradation during processing and end-use.
  • Engineering Plastics: Provides excellent protection for ABS and other styrene copolymers, maintaining mechanical integrity.
  • Elastomers: Enhances the aging resistance of rubber compounds containing unsaturated bonds.
  • PVC Stabilization: Acts as a reliable stabilizer in flexible PVC formulations compatible with various plasticizers.
  • Adhesives: Improves thermal stability in hot melt adhesives, ensuring consistent bonding performance.

For optimal synergistic performance, it is recommended to combine Antioxidant CA with thioester or phosphite antioxidants. This combination often yields superior protection against thermo-oxidative degradation compared to single-component systems.
