The Spanish and German plants focus on final antioxidant products with a production capacity of more than 20.000 tons per year, using the latest manufacturing technology to fulfill the most stringent quality requirements of the market. Antioxidants are used to protect materials against negative influences such as oxidation, embrittlement, gumming or changes in color or smell (becoming rancid). The antioxidants are marketed under the well-established IONOL brand. The main applications of the Oxiris antioxidants are in segments such as plastics, rubber and latex, lubricants and fuels (petrol, diesel, biodiesel and jet fuel), foodstuff and feedstuff, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, as well as coatings and printing inks.
