Chemically inert except for strong oxidizing acids

The Aquamix™ portfolio of water-based dispersions and emulsions includes anti-oxidants, curatives, tackifiers and more specialized ingredients that can help you streamline operations and respond quickly to industry trends.

Excellent fatigue, stress-crack, oxidation and acid resistance

By neutralizing oxidative species before they can initiate yellowing, the additives offer long-lasting protection without the need for additional post-processing.

The ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ range of high performance light blocking additive solutions for PET dairy and dairy-alternative packaging helps to protect longer shelf life products, especially ultra-high temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products, from visible light-induced oxidation due to ambient storage conditions.

Oxidation and heat aging in plastics frequently cause a chain reaction that forms free radicals, breaks up the long polymer chains and degrades the appearance and performance of the plastic.

It can have an oxidizing effect and shorten the life of pipes made of materials susceptible to oxidization. Antioxidant additives can help off-set this oxidizing effect. ANTIOXIDANTS FOR METAL/PP-R AND PP-RCT SYSTEMS Plastic systems in contact with metal inserts can also be subject to oxidization.

Light induced oxidation causes degradation reactions in dairy products and a decrease in nutritional quality. Vitamins A, B2 (riboflavin), D and amino acids become lost, lipids (milk fats) oxidize, and off-flavors can develop due to the resulting decomposition products. As a result, light induced oxidation is minimized and properties and taste are preserved, even at the lengthy ambient shelf life common with UHT liquid dairy products.

Precipitated, or synthetic, calcium carbonate (PCC) is produced chemically from calcium oxide. The filler is also nonabrasive and has a low density.2 Aluminum oxide and nitride are more abrasive. Iron Oxide
