Antioxidants Stabilizers Selection for Polyolefins (PP, PE)
Polymer degradation is a natural phenomenon that cannot be totally stopped. It tends to deteriorate the physical & mechanical like molecular weight, melt flow rate, appearance, processing and thermal stability properties of the polymer.
To reduce such damages that occur during melt processing or under conditions of use, antioxidant stabilizers are developed.
Explore, in detail, about the need for antioxidants, and how they impact the processing & long term thermal stability of polyolefins (PP, PE). Also, select the right combination of antioxidant stabilizers & explore formulation examples for your polymer applications.

Selecting Additives for High-temperature Polymers
Additives used with commodity polymers cannot give the best results with high temperature polymers. This is because of the lack of high temperature stability of these traditional additives. This fact has led to the development of specific additives that can be used with high temperature polymers. This guide will review the three main high heat additives: antioxidants, flame retardants and processing aids used with high heat polymers. Read on and uncover the features they offer in several high temperature polymers.
