Macrostab: Polymer Stabilizers

TDS Ref ID: 1530

Description:

  • Macrostab is a range of advanced stabilizers for polymers, designed to extend the lifespan and improve the performance of plastic materials.
  • It protects against degradation caused by heat, UV light, and oxidation.
  • This product helps maintain the mechanical properties and aesthetic appearance of polymers over time.
  • Essential for applications requiring long-term durability and resistance to environmental factors.

Key Advantages:

  • Increased resistance of polymers to thermal degradation.
  • Improved stability against UV radiation, preventing yellowing or brittleness.
  • Protection against oxidation, preserving mechanical properties.
  • Extended lifespan of plastic products.
  • Suitable for a wide range of polymers.

Recommended Processing Considerations

Blending: Macrostab should be uniformly blended with polymer resins and other additives prior to melt processing (e.g., extrusion, injection molding).

Dosage: The optimal dosage depends on the polymer type, processing conditions, and required end-use stability. Recommended starting dosage is 0.1-1.0 phr (parts per hundred resin).

Dispersion: Good dispersion of Macrostab is crucial for achieving maximum stabilization efficiency. Ensure adequate mixing during compounding.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain product integrity.
