Hydrolysis stabilization

A recipe for long life – Stabaxol®, the effective antihydrolysis agent Stabaxol® is the brand name of Rhein Chemie's high-performance antihydrolysis agents. Rhein Chemie has a leading position both with its Stabaxol® active ingredients and with its Stabaxol® masterbatches. Any polymer containing ester groups or manufactured by polycondensation, such as PET, PBT, PU, TPU, TPEE, PA and EVA, can benefit from this protection.

Improving your economic viability

Using Stabaxol® brings about an up to threefold increase in the stabilized polymer's lifespan. This extended lifespan means that it is possible to use reasonably priced polymers in applications which would otherwise require the use of very high-quality and substantially costlier plastics such as PPS or PEN. Plastics stabilized with Stabaxol® have a very good cost/benefit ratio.

Stabaxol® – for intelligent protection against hydrolysis

Stabaxol® is also used for polyurethane products based on polyester polyols such as

• Elastomers
• Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) systems
• Integral skin foam systems (e.g. shoe soles)

Rhein Chemie's Stabaxol® product range has had a leading position on the worldwide market for hydrolysis stabilization for polyurethanes for more than 30 years. While maintaining high-specification properties, using Stabaxol can increase service life threefold and the significant cost/benefit ratio means increased profitability.
