Applications
Lowinox CPL is an excellent non-discoloring, non-staining antioxidant, possessing high activity and low volatility.
Lowinox CPL is highly recommended for the protection of isoprene and butadiene-based polymers. Lowinox CPL is also
recommended for the stabilization of natural rubber and latex, SBR and caboxylated SBR lattices, ABS, ASA, MBS, SBS,
SIS, CR, NBR, BR and for tackifiers, adhesives and sealants. Lowinox CPL is highly resistant to extraction by washing
and boiling making it especially suitable for use in rubber threads and latex for carpet backing and foams. Lowinox CPL
can be prepared as a dispersion for use in emulsion polymerization processes such as ABS. and addition to water-based
systems. For a more detailed advice on applications, please contact your local Chemtura Technical Service or Sales
Representative.
