Antioxidant 1076

Antioxidant 1076 (octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate) is a hindered phenolic antioxidant commonly used as a stabilizer in various materials. Its structure combines an octadecyl chain, a phenolic group with tert-butyl substituents, and a propionate ester group. The propionate ester group in Antioxidant 1076 enhances its solubility in polymers and other organic materials, making it easier to incorporate during processing and improving its distribution within the material. Antioxidant 1076 is odorless and tasteless. It is stable against light and can be used in polymer materials such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polyamide, ABS, synthetic rubber, etc.

Applications:

·             Polymer Processing: Extends the lifespan and maintains mechanical properties of polymers during processing.

·             Plastics and Rubber: Prevents degradation, discoloration, and loss of physical properties in plastics and rubber.

·             Adhesives and Sealants: Improves stability and prevents deterioration of adhesives and sealants.

·             Coatings and Paints: Enhances durability and resistance to UV radiation and oxidative processes in coatings and paints.

·             Lubricants and Oils: Extends shelf life and maintains performance of lubricants and oils by preventing oxidation.

·             Food Packaging: Preserves freshness and prevents oxidative rancidity in packaged foods.

In various industries, Antioxidant 1076 is a versatile and effective additive used to protect materials from oxidation and maintain their properties over time.
