ANTIOXIDANT MASTERBATCH

An antioxidant masterbatch is a concentrated mixture that incorporates antioxidants into a carrier resin, used extensively in the plastics industry to enhance the stability and longevity of polymer materials. This masterbatch works by preventing the degradation of plastics caused by exposure to oxygen, heat, and light, which can otherwise lead to undesirable changes in color, a loss of mechanical properties, and a significant decrease in overall performance.

By integrating primary and secondary antioxidants—where primary antioxidants act as radical scavengers and secondary antioxidants decompose hydroperoxides into non-radical products—this masterbatch ensures a uniform distribution of these protective agents throughout the material. As a result, manufacturers can produce more stable and durable plastic products that maintain their desired properties and extend their lifespan, making antioxidant masterbatches essential in various industries, including packaging, automotive, construction, and consumer goods.
