Described are compositions and methods for inhibiting and retarding polymerization of a monomer composition, which use a naphthoquinone and a hydroxylamine. When present in a monomer-containing composition, the combination of the naphthoquinone and hydroxylamine provides an unexpected beneficial antipolymerant effect inhibiting unwanted formation of fouling polymer. The antipolymerant combination can be added to a hydrocarbon composition, such as a petroleum, that can include a polymerizable components, such as styrene, where the hydrocarbon composition is purified or processed, such as in the case of distillation.
