Anti-Oxidant Masterbatch

Goldmine’s Anti-Oxidant Masterbatch protects the polymer at every stage, stabilizing melt flow, preserving mechanical properties, and extending product life

Polymers subjected to long processing cycles, high temperatures, shear stress, or multiple melt passes gradually oxidize — resulting in discoloration, brittleness, gel formation and loss of strength.

Anti-Oxidant Masterbatch is engineered to prevent thermal and oxidative degradation during processing and end-use. The formulation combines primary and secondary antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, stabilize polymer chains, and maintain melt integrity under stress.

This masterbatch is especially effective for polymers exposed to multiple heating cycles — including recycled materials, high-speed extrusion lines, and extended residence-time processes.

The result: cleaner surfaces, stronger products, consistent color, and predictable performance.

FAQ

What does Anti-Oxidant Masterbatch do?
It helps inhibit thermal and oxidative degradation during processing and service life, maintaining strength, colour and surface integrity.
Which polymers can it be used with?
Suitable for PE, PP and many other polymer systems, including both virgin and recycled resins.
What typical dosage should be used?
Dosage usually ranges from 0.5% to 3%, depending on polymer type and thermal exposure needs.
Will it affect colour or clarity of my product?
No — when properly formulated, it prevents discoloration rather than causing it and maintains final product aesthetics.
Can it be used with other additives like slip or anti-block masterbatches?
Yes — Goldmine Anti-Oxidant Masterbatch is compatible with most additive systems to support comprehensive performance enhancement.
