DSTDP Thioester Antioxidant Supplier

SUNNOX® DSTDP (distearyl thiodipropionate) is a thioester secondary antioxidant with low volatility. Combined with a phenolic primary, it extends the heat-aging life of polyolefins, ABS and rubber.

Product Overview

DSTDP decomposes hydroperoxides during long service at elevated temperature and works in strong synergy with hindered phenols such as 1010. Its longer alkyl chains give a higher melting point (63–69 °C) and lower volatility than DLTDP, which suits higher processing temperatures and parts that stay hot in use.

Typical specification. Every shipment is supplied with a batch COA; the limits that apply to your order are confirmed in the quotation and contract.

Key Benefits

Heat-aging synergist

With a phenolic antioxidant it extends oven-aging life far beyond either component alone.

Lower volatility

Higher molecular weight than DLTDP, so less is lost at high processing temperatures.

Proven in polyolefins

Widely used in PP and PE parts for appliances, automotive and pipe.

Technical & Buying Information

Selecting an Antioxidant System

Your requirementWhat usually works
Color and melt-flow stability during extrusion or moldingPhosphite secondary antioxidant (168) with a phenolic primary
Long-term heat aging in serviceHigh-MW phenolic primary (1010), often with a thioester (DLTDP / DSTDP)
Thin film, fiber, low-melting compoundingLower-melting phenolic (1076) for easy dispersion
Repeated processing / recycled contentRaise the phosphite share in the blend and check yellowing after each pass
Humid storage or long transitHydrolysis-resistant phosphite such as 168; keep bags sealed
Food-contact articlesAsk for the grade-specific food-contact statement before trials
Replacing an existing gradeSend your current TDS or COA; we match on the parameters you approve

Antioxidant DSTDP Buyer Guide

Name the failure you want to prevent

Yellowing or melt-flow change during processing points to the phosphite share; embrittlement or cracking after months in service points to the phenolic and thioester share. Note recycled content and the number of extrusion passes.

Start from a proven blend

Most polyolefin packages start from a phenolic primary plus a phosphite secondary, then adjust. Send your current package and we suggest a starting blend for the trial instead of changing several variables at once.

Compare the numbers that matter

For powders: assay, melting range, volatiles and light transmittance at 425/500 nm (a direct read on color). Ask for the same parameters on our COA that appear on your incoming-inspection sheet.

Lock in supply terms

Agree packaging, monthly volume, destination port and required documents up front. A matching CAS number alone does not qualify a new source; run your trial and keep the approved lot COA as the reference.

Antioxidant DSTDP FAQ

DSTDP or DLTDP?

Choose DSTDP for higher processing temperatures and lower volatility; choose DLTDP when you need easy dispersion at low temperature.

What ratio with 1010?

1:1 to 1:3 (1010:DSTDP) is a common starting range for heat-aging packages. Confirm in your oven-aging test.

Can I use DSTDP with HALS?

Thioesters can reduce HALS efficiency in outdoor applications. For outdoor parts, tell us the package and we suggest an alternative synergist if needed.

Can I get a sample before ordering?

Yes. Tell us the polymer, the test you plan to run and the quantity you need. Samples ship with a COA so you can compare the lot against your current material.

What if a COA does not match our agreed specification?

Send us the agreed specification and the COA showing the difference (parameter, unit and test method). We check it with the production batch record before you accept the material, and replace or re-test where the lot is out of specification.
