Irganox 1010, also known as Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-(3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate), isa highly effective, non-discoloring, sterically hindered phenolic primary antioxidant stabilizer used to protect organic substrates against thermo-oxidative degradation, particularly in plastics, synthetic fibers, and elastomers.
Here's a more detailed description:
Chemical Properties and Structure:
CAS Number:6683-19-8
Chemical Name:Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-(3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate)
Appearance:White crystalline powder
Solubility:Soluble in organic solvents like toluene and dichloromethane
Function:Irganox 1010 is a primary antioxidant, meaning it's the first line of defense against oxidative degradation, preventing the formation of free radicals that cause material breakdown.
Mechanism:It works by donating hydrogen atoms to free radicals, stabilizing the polymer and preventing chain scission and other degradation processes.
