Polymerisation Inhibitors - Nufarm UK
Polymerisation Inhibitors | ||||||||||
Nufarm UK Limited is one of the World's principal suppliers of polymerisation control agents for the petrochemical industry. We produce our polymerisation inhibitor and retarder products at our UK manufacturing facility at Wyke for supply to many of the major petrochemical companies throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and the Americas. As well as producing industry standard products, we have a successful Research and Development team that have developed and patented a new range of anti-polymerants. This is now enabling Nufarm to provide solutions to polymer problems in a wide range of petrochemical processes. These include retarders and inhibitors for styrenics, together with antioxidants and inhibitors for acrylics, butadiene, ethylene and many more. | ||||||||||
Stable Free Radical Inhbitors: Nufarm is one of the principal manufacturers of piperidine based stable free radical molecules, generically known as Tempos. We are lead registrants in REACH for the industry standard molecules 4-Oxo and 4-Hydroxy Tempo and we also commercially produce two other Tempo molecules that have specialist applications in polymer inhibition. Our Tempo molecules are available in a range of dilutions, solvents and packaging that is best suited to your process | ||||||||||
The AHM 700 Series (DNBP plus Tempo above 5% content) is now off-patent in all parts of the World in which we operate. This is the most cost-effective system for many plants and the one-pack product can give reduced polymer and reduced purchase costs and it simplifies logistics and dosing. Many case histories are available to show the product effectiveness. More information can be found in the styrenics section | ||||||||||

All of our manufacturing and formulation takes place at the Wyke facilty in the UK. The site is registered to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. We have manufactured DNBP at Wyke since 1947, firstly as a herbicide and then since the mid-1980s as a polymerisation inhibitor. TEMPOs have been manufactured here since the mid 1990s. All our products are analyzed before leaving the site by our QC department and Nufarm has a dedicated registration team dealing with regulatory issues, including REACH. All our retarder and inhibitor products will be supported through the REACH registration process. For copies of safety data sheets or product specifications, please click here | ||||||||||
