The invention consists of a mixture based on Cerium oxide as an oxidation inhibitor of organic molecules. The presence of an essential oil component allows Cerium oxide to acquire antioxidant capacity, This is due to the release of superoxide radicals.
Applications:
- additives in solvent-based paints
- catalysts for organic transformation
- packaging material for cooking oils
