WESTON™ 399
Versatile phosphite stabilizer that improves color, processing stability, and end-use of a variety of polymers; similar to WESTON™ 398 but with food contact approvals.
WESTON™ 399 is a phosphite antioxidant that improves color and processing stability during recovery, drying, compounding, processing and end use. It has low nonylphenol content, is approved for food contact, and synergizes when used along side hindered phenolic antioxidants.
