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.
