Antioxidants

Antioxidants decelerate undesired oxidative degradation processes in plastics in a targeted manner which can lead to discolourations until the loss of serviceability. Furthermore antioxidants also protect against thermally induced ageing and thus serve as process stabilisers during the plastics processing. They act as radical catcher or as means of reduction.
