ABS resin is widely used in manufacturing of products used in applications that require resistances to heat, solvent / oil extraction, physical properties (such as tensile or impact resistance) loss due to oxidation from air contact etc. Some examples are automotive parts, office machines , house appliances etc. The butadiene segments of the ABS molecular chain needs a very potent antioxidant to protect it from oxidation from the air as well as heat during product usage. ABS industry also needs a very cost effective antioxidant due to the very competitive market that it is operating within.

Wingstay^® L, being a polymeric hindered phenol, has very low volatility, worldwide compliance in food contact regulations as well as high antioxidant potency. The low dosage rate required also provides a very cost effective protection of the ABS resins. There is no wonder that Wingstay^® L is one of the most widely used antioxidants in ABS resin protection worldwide.
