Liquid phenolic antioxidant blends: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Polymer degradation from ozone and oxidative stress leads to premature material failure and environmental waste. These innovations utilize sustainable chemical additives to maintain structural integrity and extend product lifecycles.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Liquid phenolic antioxidant blends?

Oxidative polymer degradation

(5)evidences

Atmospheric oxygen causes irreversible chain scission and loss of mechanical integrity in polymers. Preventing this degradation extends the functional lifecycle and stability of the material.

Thermal oxidative degradation

(2)evidences

Polyols and polyurethanes suffer from thermal-oxidative breakdown during processing and long-term use. Preventing this degradation maintains structural integrity and prevents yellowing.

Oxidative and ozone degradation

(1)evidences

Elastomers suffer from surface cracking and structural failure when exposed to atmospheric ozone. Preventing this degradation maintains the mechanical integrity and service life of rubber components.
