Product Introduction

Antioxidant 1010 is a high-performance sterically hindered phenolic primary antioxidant widely used in plastics, polymers, elastomers, adhesives, coatings, lubricants, and specialty materials.

Chemically known as Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate), Antioxidant 1010 is designed to provide effective protection against thermal oxidation, processing degradation, and long-term oxidative aging in organic materials.

Due to its low volatility, excellent extraction resistance, non-discoloring behavior, and high thermal stability, Antioxidant 1010 is widely used in polyolefin stabilization systems, engineering plastics, synthetic fibers, and industrial additive formulations.

Chemical Properties and Reaction Mechanism

Antioxidant 1010 functions primarily as a primary phenolic antioxidant and free-radical scavenger.

In oxidation systems:

  • The phenolic hydroxyl groups donate hydrogen atoms to neutralize free radicals
  • Interrupt auto-oxidative chain reactions
  • Reduce thermo-oxidative degradation during processing and long-term service life

Key stabilization features:

  • Sterically hindered phenolic structure
  • Excellent thermal processing stability
  • Low volatility and good permanence in polymer matrices
  • Effective protection against heat- and oxygen-induced degradation 

Antioxidant 1010 is often combined with phosphite or thioester secondary antioxidants to achieve synergistic stabilization performance.
