Benzofuranone phosphite additive systems: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Oxidative degradation during polymer processing leads to yellowing and structural failure in synthetic materials. These formulations utilize specific stabilizer combinations to inhibit free radical chain reactions and maintain polymer integrity.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Benzofuranone phosphite additive systems?

Thermal oxidative degradation

(30)evidences

Organic materials undergo irreversible chemical breakdown and loss of mechanical properties when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Preventing this degradation extends product lifespan and maintains structural integrity in outdoor environments.

Volatile organic compound emissions

(8)evidences

Polyolefin articles and tubes experience polymer chain scission and loss of mechanical integrity during high-temperature processing and long-term service. Preventing this breakdown ensures structural durability and extends the functional lifespan of the material.
