GCH Technology 1124 is a metal deactivator that additionally acts as a hindered phenolic antioxidant.The presence of transition metal ions in plastics can lead to the introduction and accelerated production of degradation products. 1124 combines both an antioxidant and a metal deactivator for outstanding protection in a variety of polymers including polyolefins and elastomers used in applications such as wire and cable insulation. It provides excellent protection from the auto-oxidation process that can occur with the presence of trace metals in polymers from such things as catalyst residue. Its ideal melting range allows for ease of incorporation into many polymer systems without dispersion problems.
