Code: 11033. We distribute a complete range of antioxidant additives suitable for use in the plastics sector.

Antioxidant additives for plastics are essential compounds used to prevent polymer degradation caused by oxidation.

During the manufacturing process and life cycle of plastic products, exposure to oxygen, heat and light can cause the polymer chains to break, compromising the mechanical and visual properties of the material.

Antioxidant additives work by slowing down or inhibiting these processes, prolonging the life and strength of plastics.

Their use is fundamental in numerous sectors, including packaging, automotive and electronics, where plastics are exposed to difficult environmental conditions or intense thermal cycles.

There are two main categories of antioxidant additives: primary ones, which interrupt the formation of free radicals, and secondary ones, which break down the peroxides formed during the oxidation process.

Thanks to their versatility, antioxidants find application in a wide range of polymers, such as polyethylene, polypropylene and PVC, ensuring high performance even in challenging environmental conditions.
