Antioxidants are incorporated into the material during the manufacturing process. The concentration and type of antioxidant used depends on the specific requirements of the application, such as expected exposure to oxidative conditions, the type of polymer or material, and the desired service life of the product.
Plastics and Polymers: Used in polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC and other polymers to prevent oxidative degradation during processing and end use.
Rubber: Added to rubber compounds to prevent oxidative aging, which can lead to embrittlement and loss of elasticity.
Lubricants and Fuels: Added to oils, greases and fuels to prevent oxidation, which can lead to sludge formation, increased viscosity and acid build-up.
Food Industry: Used in food packaging and food to prevent oxidation, which can lead to rancidity and loss of nutritional value.
Cosmetics: Added to skin care products and cosmetics to prevent oxidation of active ingredients and ensure product stability and efficacy.
Adhesives and Sealants: Used to maintain the performance and durability of adhesives and sealants exposed to oxidative conditions.
