Antioxidant 1024 (Akrochem)

Antioxidant 1024 by Akrochem is a non-staining, high molecular weight, hindered phenolic antioxidant and metal deactivator. It improves properties in polymers exposed to sour gasoline. It offers antioxidant protection in immersion, dry-out and aging testing, due to its good extraction resistance in fuels and oils. In this grade, the metal deactivating functions provides better end-use heat and light stability by deactivating metal catalyst residues present in polyolefins and polymers. Antioxidant 1024, when combined with Antioxidants 58 and 60, enhances the heat resistance and metal deactivation properties. It finds application in EPDM, crosslinked polyethylene, nylon, polyacetal and nitrile polymers. Recommended dosage level in plastic is 0.02-0.50% and in rubber is 2 phr by weight.
