During processing, polymers often degrade due to oxygen and heat exposure which causes such things as discoloration, gels, and black spots.
It is a specialized antioxidant additive that stabilizes polyolefins during processing—preventing the typical defects like discoloration, gels, and black spots—during initial, and future conversion steps and recycling loops.
