Product Applications
  • Hostanox® O 3 is recommended for the stabilization of polyolefins (PP, HDPE, LLDPE), Polyamides, ABS, styrenic polymers, polyesters, synthetic elastomers, adhesives, and many other organic substrates.
  • In combination with sulphur containing co-stabilizers, such as Hostanox® SE 10 and Hostanox® SE 4, it leads to a pronounced synergistic effect concerning long term thermal stability respectively oven life.
