Antioxidant 9228 High-Performance Phosphite Supplier
SUNNOX® 9228 is a high-performance diphosphite secondary antioxidant. It gives excellent color and melt stability at high processing temperatures with very good hydrolysis resistance and low volatility.
CAS 154862-43-8 · Diphosphite · Secondary antioxidant
Product Overview
Antioxidant 9228 (bis(2,4-dicumylphenyl) pentaerythritol diphosphite) is a solid white powder with a molecular weight of about 853 and a melting point of at least 225 °C. Its high phosphorus efficiency and hydrolysis resistance make it a step up from 168 for demanding processing such as thin-wall molding, film, fiber and engineering plastics, used together with a phenolic primary.
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
Hydrolysis resistant
Stays active and free-flowing in humid storage, unlike many diphosphites.
Efficient
High phosphorus efficiency often allows lower loading than standard phosphites.

Technical & Buying Information
Antioxidant 9228 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.

When should I upgrade from 168 to 9228?
When processing temperature, multiple passes or color requirements push 168 to its limit, or when you need lower total loading.
Is 9228 a liquid?
No. It is a white powder with a melting point of at least 225 °C.
Does it need a phenolic antioxidant?
Yes. Like all phosphites it protects mainly during processing; use it with a phenolic primary for long-term protection.
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.
