Description
An additive that keeps a compound or solution from changing. For example, an emulsifiers keeps particles in a suspension from settling; an antioxidant scavenges oxygen radicals prior to their reaction with the substrate; an ultraviolet stabilizer absorbs high energy ultraviolet rays before they can initiate degradation; and inhibitors interfere with the chemical reactions that cause corrosion. Some stabilizers that were used in oil paints are beeswax, aluminum stearate, zinc stearate, aluminum palmitate, and zinc palmitate.
