One of the serious problems in polybutadiene rubber (PBR) production units is the color change in products, which is due to aging and the inability of antioxidants to protect the product, especially at high temperatures. In this study, the effects of amine-type antioxidant [octylated diphenylamine (OD)] and non-amine-type antioxidant (Irganox 1520) on the color
Antioxidants can be divided into two broad classes, primary and secondary, depending upon their mode of action. The most broadly used primary antioxidants are hindered phenolics. Phenolic antioxidants have traditionally been based on 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT). This functional moiety has been incorporated into larger molecules
