Features & Benefits
Oxidative Stability
The antioxidant in AOX™ Antioxidant Polyethylene stabilizes free radicals preventing oxidation of the polyethylene.
Wear Resistance
The AOX™ Antioxidant Polyethylene resin mix is exposed to a level of irradiation to stimulate crosslinking while delivering enhanced wear characteristics.
Mechanical integrity
Crosslinked AOX™ Antioxidant Polyethylene maintains high mechanical integrity with aging. The addition of an antioxidant into the material eliminates the need for re-melting or annealing.
