Helping to Make Polymer Systems “Future Proof” by Selection of Additives

    Shawn Cook

The polymer industry is frequently the target for new regulations, whether they be for the polymer systems themselves or the additives that go into them.  Additives that were considered safe and widely used are constantly under scrutiny.  Wouldn’t it be nice to have additives that are not only compliant with today’s current regulations, but also have been developed with possible future regulations in mind? 

 

Dover Chemical has been developing phosphite antioxidants (AO) with future regulations in mind.  These specialty AOs are not only superior performing, but also with extensive global compliance for chemical inventory registrations.  These phosphites can address today’s hot-button regulatory challenges such as PFAS, Arvin Substances, SVHC, REACh, and others, and they are compatible with many polymer systems such as PE, PP, PVC, PLA, polyamides, polyesters, polycarbonates, and others.   

 

And while nobody can predict the future, these AO’s were designed and tested in collaboration with regulatory bodies to help ensure they will be deemed safe and acceptable for use for many decades to come. Register now to watch the recording.
