Antioxidants in Lubricants - IRGANOX®

At A Glance

Our core competency in antioxidants has set the standard for lubricant oxidative stability.

When lubricants are exposed to heat, gases or mechanical stress, the molecules can break down and form radicals which react with oxygen to cause oil thickening, deposits and acid build-up. Antioxidants eliminate these radicals and prevent thermo-oxidative breakdown.

High quality antioxidants with superior performance in mineral oil based and synthetic lubricants
Portfolio includes globally registered aminic, phenolic, phosphite and sulfur chemistries, as well as their blends
Global registration and regulatory support available
