Anti-yellowing IRGANOX-5057

IRGANOX-5057 is a highly effective antioxidant additive used to prevent yellowing and color change due to thermal oxidation in polyurethane systems and many plastic applications. It stands out with its power to maintain color stability, especially in light-colored or white formulations.

Polyurethane systems that come into contact with high temperatures and oxygen may show color loss and surface yellowing over time. In this process, IRGANOX-5057 neutralizes free radicals and prevents the degradation of polymer chains, thus preserving the original color and brightness of the product for a long time.

This additive gives excellent results in flexible and rigid polyurethane foam systems, elastomers, coating resins, PVC and polyester based applications. Thanks to its low volatility value, it remains stable during the process, offers high efficiency and does not affect the viscosity of the system.

Another advantage of IRGANOX-5057 is that it shows a synergistic effect when used with light stabilizers (UV absorbers) and secondary antioxidants. In this way, the product not only prevents yellowing, but also increases long-term color durability.

Areks Kimya adds both aesthetic durability and reliability in terms of material life to its production processes with IRGANOX-5057; It offers an effective solution especially in polyurethane systems that require high quality standards.
