The polymer additives are used in a wide variety of applications where plastics need to be protected from degradation by heat, light, oxygen, or mechanical stress. The most important product lines include "Songnox" antioxidants, which protect polymers during processing and end use by maintaining critical physical properties such as mechanical stability and color. "Songsorb" UV absorbers effectively protect organic materials from degradation by light, significantly extending the service life of plastic applications. In addition, the range includes "Songnox" OPS (One Pack Systems) and "Songxtend" stabilizer solutions, which offer optimal and customized solutions for a wide variety of applications.

One of the areas of application for these products is mobility. Here, the additives are used, for example, in bumpers, headlight housings, and interior components such as dashboards and textile fibres. The materials also contribute to the protection of plastics in the packaging and building & construction sectors, for example in food packaging, stretch and shrink films, multilayer packaging, roofing films, pipes, and PVC window frames. The product families are also used in cable sheathing, plastic housings of all kinds, and greenhouse films.
