The development prospects of antioxidant RD

In recent years, a large number of research and experiments have shown that the antioxidant RD has the advantages of simpler production process, lower investment and lower cost compared with the same performance and non-polluting p-phenylenediamine antioxidant. Therefore, domestic development has been rapid over the past few years.

Antioxidant RD has been one of the largest producers of anti-aging agents in China, and its usage is also quite large. According to reports, in 1990, the consumption was 3,000 tons. In 2000, it surged to 8,500 tons, and in 2001 it reached more than 10,000 tons. Its use ranges from large tires to small rubber seals.

The key to domestic anti-aging agent RD is to improve the intrinsic quality to meet the requirements of radial tires. To achieve large-scale operations, reduce costs, and participate in increasingly fierce global market competition.

At present, the production scale of anti-aging agent RD in our country is relatively small, with uneven quality and it is difficult to meet the needs of the development of the rubber industry. Synthetic antioxidant RD raw materials aniline and ** have been self-sufficient, and the price is lower, the export of antioxidant RD has a greater competitive advantage. Therefore, China has a broad prospect for the development of antioxidant RD.
