A new antioxidant and ultraviolet stabilizer
This company manufactures a comprehensive range of antioxidants and UV stabilizers in a full range of physical product forms. It recently expanded its portfolio with two new products: Songnox 9228 antioxidant and Songsorb 1164 UV absorber, which are suitable for packaging, agriculture, building and construction, as well as home and personal care applications. Due to its excellent hydrolytic stability, Songnox 9228 antioxidant overcomes the challenges traditional high-performance phosphites/phosphonites face by allowing more severe polyolefin processing, especially at high temperatures. In addition to this, it also delivers excellent color protection for Cr-type high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) and engineering resins. The latest addition to the company’s range of UV absorbers is a triazine, Songsorb 1164 protects plastics against UV light degradation. Compared to conventional benzotriazole UV absorbers, Songsorb 1164 makes it possible to achieve a longer service lifetime for polyolefins and engineering plastics exposed to outdoor weathering. The product was developed to be suitable for polyolefins intended for use in contact with food. — Songwon Industrial Co., Ltd., Ulsan, South Korea
