Finanox-18 (DSTDP) is a secondary antioxidant used in polyolefins and other polymers requiring long term heat ageing properties.
Finanox-18 particularly decomposes hydroperoxides, formed by auto-oxidation of polymers and neutralizes them. It is often used as synergist in combination with phenolic antioxidants. Finanox-18 (DSTDP) has been approved for use in some food packaging applications.
Finanox-18 is mainly used in combination with phenolic antioxidants in PE, PP, ABS, Polyester, Polyamides, Acetals, Nylon 6/66, PET/PBT, PC, PS
Products stabilized with Finanox-18 are widely used in automotives, appliances, containers, PE films, tape, injection & rotational molding, metallocene, PP injection molding, TPO, ABS, sealants, adhesive applications.
