Acid Scavengers
The Acid Scavengers of the LUBIO® series, significantly improve the durability of polymer systems. They allow polymers to be more resistant in humid environments (hydrolysis), as well as towards acids and radicals (autoxidation), therefore considerably decelerating the associated disintegration process of the affected polymers.
