THANOX 245 is effective in styrene polymers, particularly impact modified polystyrenes, ABS, MBS,
SB and SBR-latices as well as in POM homo-and copolymers. It is also very useful for the stabilization
of polyurethanes, polyamides, thermoplastic polyesters, PVC and other polymers. In addition to
imparting thermostability to the finished polymer, THANOX 245 is effective as chain stopper during
PVC polymerization. THANOX 245 can be used in combination with other additives such as
costabilizers (e.g. thioesters, phosphites and phosphonites), light stabilizers, and other functional
stabilizers. The effectiveness of the blends of THANOX 245 with THANOX 168 (THANOX B-blends)
is noteworthy.
