HYDROLYSIS STABILIZERS 


  • Excellent protection against hydrolysis
  • Long term stabilization
  • High efficiency, low dosage rates

Polymers containing ester groups, or manufactured by polycondensation, generally display a weakness when attacked by water or moisture, particularly at elevated temperatures. This degradation or breakdown of polymers by water and acids is known as hydrolysis. Our Stabaxol® portfolio of hydrolysis stabilizers provides additive solutions especially suited to improve the hydrolysis resistance of polycondensates, expanding their range of applications.

 

Using Stabaxol® improves the cost/benefit ratio in well-established applications. Considerable raw material-related cost advantages may also be achieved in applications that normally require more expensive materials (e. g. high-performance plastics). Thanks to their cross-linking effects in plastics, some Stabaxol® types (polymers) can potentially have secondary beneficial effects as agents in a whole range of processing operations.

Stabaxol® has a worldwide reputation as the most effective anti-hydrolysis agent for many polymers, including PU, PET, PBT, TPU, TPE-E, EVA and bio-based Polyesters like PLA or PHA. Typical applications include cable sheathing, surface coatings of rollers, sieves used in paper manufacture, injection-molded parts for electronics, auxiliary springs in cars, shoe systems, drive belts, membranes and seals. 

LANXESS´s Stabaxol® product range has a leading position in the worldwide market for hydrolysis stabilization. We offer:

  • a large range of quality products based on the most varied active ingredients,
  • development of Stabaxol® masterbatches tailored to customer requirements,
  • analytical expertise to evaluate the use of Stabaxol® in customer applications,
  • development of new products with better performance, higher cost efficiency and improved toxicological and eco-toxicological properties.
