Antioxidant Additives | IRGANOX^®

Our solutions to extend your lubricant life and performance

Our core competency in antioxidants has set the standard for lubricant oxidative stability. When lubricants are exposed to heat, gases or mechanical stress, the molecules can break down and form radicals which react with oxygen to cause oil thickening, deposits and acid build-up. Antioxidants eliminate these radicals and prevent thermo-oxidative breakdown.
