    NHFPC Expands Usage Limit of ADDIVANT™’s Antioxidant in Polyethylene

    Addivant™ has announced that China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) has expanded the usage limit for its nonylphenol‐free stabilizer, WESTON® 705, in polyethylene from 1500ppm to 2000ppm.

    WESTON® 705 — Stabilizes Polyethylene

    “This increase confirms the safety profile of WESTON® 705 and comes at an opportune time,” said John Steitz, Addivant’s CEO. “China has just started to enforce its new food‐contact law, GB9685‐2016, which puts a 10ppb migration limit on nonylphenol in food‐contact materials. With this extension, resin manufacturers can further increase the use of WESTON® 705, allowing them to stabilize polyethylene for the most demanding process conditions while avoiding gel formation and additive blooming in flexible film.”

    Food‐contact Approved Antioxidant

    Already approved for use in more than 180 countries for food‐contact packaging, WESTON® 705 is the only nonylphenol‐free liquid phosphite antioxidant alternative with food‐contact approvals in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and China.

    This enables resin producers and packaging manufacturers to employ a single, global solution for Consumer Packaged Goods for customers looking to stay ahead of the regulatory curve. The result of more than seven years of research and investment, WESTON® 705 is the most thoroughly tested new plastic antioxidant on the market today.

    Addivant Expands Antioxidant Production Capacity at Morgantown Site

    Addivant has announced that it has expanded production capacity by over 40% for its high-performance antioxidant ULTRANOX® 626 at the company’s Morgantown, W. Va. plant.

    ULTRANOX® 626

    • ULTRANOX® 626 is a high-performance, organophosphite antioxidant used in a wide variety of polymers including polyolefins, elastomers, and engineering plastics.
    • ULTRANOX®626 has a higher phosphorus concentration than traditional phosphite antioxidants.
    • It can therefore be used at a lower concentration, resulting in low migration and low volatile-content plastics, which are major requirements of the packaged food and automotive markets.
    • Additionally, Addivant is pursuing the extension of global food-contact approvals for ULTRANOX® 626, allowing for broader use in food packaging.

    In this same context, Addivant announced earlier this year the completion of a three-fold expansion of its polyethylene and elastomer food-contact antioxidant WESTON® 705, reinforcing its commitment to the polymer industry.
