PowerNox™ MD697 is a highly effective metal deactivator originated from the family of sterically hindered phenolic antioxidants. Due to its low volatility and nondiscoloring properties, PowerNox™ 697 is ideal for the polymer systems of polyoleffins, polyesters, polyamides, and polyurethane.
PowerNox™ MD697 has low volatility and therefore provides long-term heat aging and high temperature processing stability.
The main application for PowerNox™ MD697 is in the long term heat stabilization of polyolefins that are in contact with metal ions. Such applications include wire and cable conductors and molded parts having metal inserts.
