SONGWON Expands and Enhances Antioxidant Product Range

  To strengthen and add value to its stabilizer range for polyols and polyurethanes, SONGWON has developed and launched the new antioxidant SONGNOX® 5057. SONGNOX® 5057 complements SONGWON's existing broad range of aminic, phenolic, phosphite and thioesters antioxidants. This new liquid butyl octyl aminic antioxidant is suitable for many substances including polyols and is designed for flexible polyurethane block foams, elastomers and hot-melt adhesives. Foams are used in many different industries, ranging from furniture and bedding to automotive components and sports applications. When applied in combination with hindered phenols such as SONGNOX® 1135 or SONGNOX® 1076, SONGNOX® 5057 protects polyols against degradation that may occur during storage and transport. In addition, this combination prevents color change that may occur in the center of the foam during the production of flexible polyurethane foams.
