Metal Deactivators prevent metal catalysis by binding metal ions and thus preventing the decomposition of products and oxidation in organic materials in the polymer and lubricant industry.
Metal Deactivators in the polymer industry help to suppress the decomposition of peroxides in the presence of metals and thus oxidative attacks. On the other hand, they form a passivating protective film, which prevents catalytic reactions of the metal.
Metal Deactivators in the lubricant industry form a passivating protective film, especially on non-ferrous metals, which prevents the catalytic effect and the transfer of metal ions. In this way, both oxidative attack and thus corrosion of the metal surface and ageing of the lubricant can be prevented.
