All polymers and compounds are subject to degradation due to their environment such as temperature, oxygen, ozone, UV light, or dynamic conditions. Antioxidants are chemical additives utilized in delaying and preventing this degradation, which ultimately impacts the rubber product’s intended design and/or performance. Much like the accelerator class of chemicals, there are a variety of antidegradants to choose from including staining vs. non-straining, primary vs. secondary, and static vs. dynamic performance. Let HB Chemical help design a protective formulation of antioxidants and inhibitors for your formulation.
