Antioxidant 697 is a sterically hindered phenolic antioxidant and metal deactivator. Antioxidant 697 protects polymers against oxidative degradation and metal catalyzed degradation during processing and in end-use applications. This antioxidant also provides long term thermal stabilization properties. This phenolic antioxidant is an excellent, non-discoloring, non-staining antioxidant and thermal stabilizer with outstanding metal deactivation properties. Typical end use applications include wire and cable insulation, film and sheet manufacture as well as automotive parts. Antioxidant 697 will stabilize polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyester, EPDM, EVA and ABS. Low volatility, Strong synergistic effect with phosphites, other phenols and thioesters, Non-staining and non-discoloring,FDA approved for adhesives
and polymers.
