Over the last two years Chitec has launched two specialty antioxidants, Revonox ® 501 and 420V. The company now announced the release of its first bulk antioxidant, Revonox ® 608. Unlike the previous two products, Revonox ® 608 is designed especially for engineering plastics.

In fact, it is the first line secondary antioxidant for PET and Nylon where it can provide color protection to an extent unmatched by other antioxidants. Revonox ® 608 outperforms all other secondary AOs as a processing stabilizer for commodity plastics such as PP, PS and similar materials, but due to its high cost, is only used for high-end product lines. Another piece of good news is that Chitec has completed the REACH registration of Revonox 608 and the product has also been approved by the FDA for various applications.
