    Antioxidants

    Uploaded by

    Antioxidants are used to retard oxidation and degradation of polymers caused by heat and oxygen. There are two main types - primary antioxidants that terminate radical chain reactions and secondary antioxidants that decompose hydroperoxides. It is desirable to add antioxidants early in the polymer's life cycle to protect during manufacturing, storage, processing and end use. Combining multiple antioxidants can have a synergistic effect greater than the sum of the individual components. Stabilizers are also used for halogenated polymers to scavenge HCl, prevent radical processes, and provide antioxidant protection.

    ANTIOXIDANTS Antioxidants are chemical entities, which retard oxidation and thus retard the resulting aging of the polymer. Usually, they are effective at concentration of a fraction of one percent. It is desirable to add the antioxidant as early as possible in the life cycle of a polymer. It is possible to use more than one antioxidant and this may give synergistic effect more than 200%. Antioxidant are of two types based on the function and mechanism: 1. Primary antioxidant (chain termination) Radical Scavengers 2. Secondary antioxidant (hydroperoxide decomposing)
