Prevention Over Repair: The Crucial Role of WTH Antioxidants!

Antioxidants protect polymers against radical degradation reactions triggered by various factors such as heat or mechanical stresses. Without their use, this can lead to functional loss in end products. Highly effective primary antioxidants, based on sterically hindered phenols or organic phosphite compounds, are essential for safeguarding against thermo-oxidative degradation. They serve both as processing aids and long-term stabilizers. Combining them with co-stabilizers optimizes polymer protection.
