Anti-Oxidant Masterbatch

Oxidation create may problems  including loss of shine and transparency, yellowing, surface cracking and odours. Oxidation can also result in loss of mechanical properties such as impact resistance, elongation and tensile strength. Anti-Oxidant Masterbatch Are Used to extend the life and strength of polymers, antioxidant masterbatch helps protect plastic products from degradation caused by outside elements such as ultraviolet light, oxygen, heat, and humidity.

Furthermore, antioxidant masterbatch allows for improved control of the polymer manufacturing process by increasing dispersion efficiency leading to cost savings. Anti-oxidant masterbatch interrupt autoxidation in different ways according to their chemistry and molecular weight. Oxidation can be eliminated by Primary Antioxidants that  interrupt the primary oxidation cycle by removing the propagating radicals and  Secondary Antioxidants that stop the oxidative cycle by preventing or inhibiting the formation of free radicals.
