Anti-oxidant masterbatch interrupt autoxidation in different ways according to their chemistry and molecular weight. Autoxidation occurs when polymers reacts with atmospheric oxygen. Antioxidants are of great importance during the process stage, with long-term stability at ambient temperature
Polymer stabilizers are essential to practical use, since they maintain the inherent properties, color, and other characteristics of plastics by preventing the oxidative degradation caused by high temperature during processing, and ultraviolet exposure during use.
The oxidation resistance is measured according to DIN 53383 or other methods. Change of viscosity, mechanical properties and yellowish effect are parameters that are usually measured to check the antioxidant effect.
