IONOL LC

IONOL LC is an excellent antioxidant that can be used with natural or synthetic rubber-based elastomers. 
IONOL LC can prevent the premature embrittlement of rubber products, and bleaching, which long maintained IONOL LC flexibility and tensile strength, the dose from between 0.5 to 1.5PHR depends largely on the use of the occasion and stability requirements.
IONOL LC can add to thermoplastic styrene elastomer (such as ABS) to provide superior protection.

IONOL LC is used for latex one of the most important antioxidants. 
Because of IONOL LC excellent oxidation resistance and lower filtration, IONOL LC is mainly used latex dipped products (such as surgical gloves, condoms, etc.) such as rubber and latex foam layers (such as leather floor.) 
IONOL LC is optimal dose range between 0.5 and 1.0PHR depending on the occasion.

IONOL LC can add to thermoplastic styrene elastomer (such as ABS) to provide superior protection. 
If the second generation of anti-oxidants (such as phosphite, sulfide) used in combination, IONOL LC because of their synergy to provide superior long-term stability. 

Different depending on the stability required, the dose of 0.3% to 0.7% change. 
Because of IONOL LC low volatility, IONOL LC has also been recommended for use under high temperature hot melt stabilizers and lubricants. 
Based on different occasions, the dose of 0.5% to 1.0%, depending on the occasion.

IONOL LC can be used with natural or synthetic rubber based elastomers to prevent premature embrittlement and bleaching while maintaining IONOL LC flexibility and tensile strength. 
Because of IONOL LC excellent oxidation resistance and lower filtration, IONOL LC is mainly used in latex dipped products such as surgical gloves, condoms and rubber and latex foam layers.

IONOL LC is an anti-oxidant belonging to the group of non-staining sterically hindered phenols. 
IONOL LC has a high molecular weight and IONOL LC shows an excellent stability at high temperature without any sign of discoloring.

IONOL LC is known worldwide as protection against processes of decay. 
Effects of weather like heat and light, but also mechanical impact catalyse the ageing process of polymers. 
IONOL LC protects the application from embrittlement, age-related discolouration and loss of flexibility and thus significantly increases the life span of your products.

As an application in natural and synthetic rubber like gloves, elastic threads, carpet backings or mattress and cushion foams, IONOL LC ensures permanent elasticity and tensile strength. 
Not only in elastomers, but also in thermoplastic styrene copolymers (e.g. polymer stabilisation for ABS, PVC, CPVC and TPE compounds), industrial rubber products and tyres, IONOL LC offers improved properties with an outstanding effect in comparison with standard additives. 
Adhesives and hot-melt adhesives, as well as lubricants profit from reduced volatility, because outstanding stabilisation is also guaranteed at high temperatures.

IONOL LC is a non-staining oligomeric sterically hindered phenolic antioxidant. 
Offers particularly low volatility and extractability. 
IONOL LC is used for stabilizing elastomers, thermoplastic styrol-copolymers, PA and polyolefins.

Also IONOL antioxidants have shown to increase the useful life of many industrial oils, reducing equipment downtime. 
Applications include hydraulic fluids, transformer oils, spinning oils and metal rolling and cutting fluids.

IONOL antioxidants are excellent stabilizers for all grades of kerosene based Jet A1 fuel for civil and military use. 
The concentration needed to protect and stabilize aviation fuels is also defined by these international specifications. 
For example, DERD 2494 specifies an addition level in the range of 17.0 – 24.0 mg/L for hydrotreated fuels.

Uses of IONOL LC:

Lubricants:
The continual development and improvement of the internal combustion engine has made increasing demands on Iubricants. 
Increasing Crankcase oil temperatures and increasing longevity of vehicles in general require ever higher performance and stability from lubricating oils to prevent oxidation.

Oxidation contributes to piston ring sticking, formation of sludge within the oil, and an overall breakdown of the viscosity characteristics of the lubricant. 
As free radical scavengers, one IONOL molecule can inhibit and help prevent the oxidation of many oil molecules, extending the useful life of lubricants and transmission fluids.

Polymer, Elastomers & Rubbers:
Oxidation is an important limiting factor in all thermoplastics and thermosetting resins. 
IONOL LC effects include adverse colour change, loss of flexibility, loss of tensile strength and elongation, reduced impact resistance, cracking and other surface deterioration. 
Oxidation can also affect the molecular weight of a polymer, which in turn affects IONOL LC other properties.

The oxidation of latex and rubber compounds can have different effects, depending on the type of polymer involved. 
Problems include adverse colour changes, loss of flexibility, loss of tensile strength and reduced impact resistance, ageing, cracking and other surface deterioration.

IONOL products are widely used in polyols for flexible polyurethane foams, where IONOL LC protects the polyol during production and long-term storage, as well as preventing scorching during the formation of the polyurethane foam. 
Furthermore, IONOL products are also used in the production of colourless stabilized polyolefins as well as PVC and PVB films.

IONOL antioxidants are widely used in most natural and synthetic lattices and rubbers.

Biodiesel:
The IONOL BF range – 100% active, no harm approved stabilizers with superior performance.

In every phase of IONOL LC lifecycle, from manufacturing to storage to combustion in the engine, biodiesel is subjected to oxidative influences. 
The process starts with degradation reactions that cause undesired polymers, aggressive acids and peroxides. 
Due to IONOL LC natural composition, biodiesel ages a lot faster than fossil diesel and IONOL LC use-by date is very often exceeded by the time the biofuel finally makes IONOL LC to the end-user.

The international biodiesel norms, (e.g. EN 14214 or ASTM D 6751) demand the adherence to the specified oxidation stability. 
The global specifications for fossil diesel (e.g. EN 590 or ASTM D 975) clearly prescribe that only in-spec biodiesel may be blended with fossil diesel.

Leather, Coatings and Inks:
During the process of tanning, fat is dissolved from the animal skin. 
Further on in the process, the “wet-blue” has to pick up fat again. 

These fats, made from different native fats, are called fat liquors. 
IONOL Technical Grade, IONOL CPC or IONOL 135 are used to stabilize the feed stock of the fat liquors.

The addition of either IONOL Technical Grade, IONOL CPC or IONOL 135 helps maintain overnight stability, reduce run-resistance and improve gloss and hard drying properties in most general-purpose printing inks. 
IONOL Technical Grade or IONOL CPC in lithographic inks also prevents skin formation and even promotes drying.
