Stabilizers and Additives: Concentration 0.1-5% w/w

Component Specifications

Definition

Stabilizers and additives are chemical compounds incorporated into elastomer gel formulations to improve stability, processability, and end-use properties. They include antioxidants, UV stabilizers, plasticizers, and rheology modifiers, ensuring consistent quality and extended durability in products like hair gels, skin creams, and deodorants.

Working Principle

These additives function by scavenging free radicals (antioxidants), absorbing UV radiation (UV stabilizers), reducing intermolecular forces (plasticizers), or modifying viscosity (rheology modifiers) to prevent degradation and maintain desired physical properties.

Materials

Common materials include hindered phenols (antioxidants), benzotriazoles (UV stabilizers), phthalates or citrates (plasticizers), and fumed silica or cellulose derivatives (rheology modifiers).
