Stabilizers are used frequently in plastics but also in cosmetics and films. The primary function is to protect the substance from the long-term degradation effects from light, from heat, preventing the formation of free radicals, oxidations, chain scission and uncontrolled recombinations and cross-linking reactions.
Almost all commercial plastics are compounded with monomeric ingredients, additives and stabilizers, to improve their processing and end-use performance. The effectiveness of the stabilizers against weathering depends on its chemical nature and its compatibility with the polymer; solubility, ability to stabilize in different polymer matrix, the distribution in matrix, evaporation loss during processing and use.
