Hydrolysis Stabilization

Hydrolysis Stabilization is one of the essential topics at Schäfer Additive Systems, which we have been dealing with since the company's founding. For the polymer industry, hydrolysis protection is crucial to safeguard products from the destructive effects of hydrolysis, which can lead to a loss of mechanical strength and performance. We provide targeted hydrolysis protection through our specially developed hydrolysis stabilizers, tailored to the individual needs and requirements of our customers.

Hydrolysis protection in the polymer industry is ensured through our Hydrostab and Hystab product lines, which cover a wide range of polymers such as PET, PBT, PU/TPU, PBAT, and PLA. Our customers rely on our hydrolysis stabilizers to maintain the structural integrity of their products and thereby extend their lifespan.

Hydrolysis protection has been a core focus at Schäfer Additive Systems since the company's founding and is one of our key strengths. The stabilizers in our LUBIO® Hydrostab and Hystab series protect polymers from hydrolytic degradation initiated by water and acids. The LUBIO® Hydrostab series is distinguished by its effective and long-term protection based on polymeric carbodiimides. Complementing this, the additives in the LUBIO® Hystab series include hydrolysis stabilizers produced from renewable raw materials, making them predominantly or entirely bio-based. By using our hydrolysis protection additives, polymers can retain their mechanical and physical properties over extended periods, even under exposure to water, elevated temperatures, or the presence of acids. With Schäfer Additive Systems, polymer industry users can trust that their products will benefit from specialized hydrolysis protection, ensuring longer lifespan and enhanced reliability.
