Irgafos® 168 FF

Irgafos® 168 FF by BASF is tris(2,4-di-tert.-butylphenyl) phosphite by BASF. It is a hydrolytically stable phosphite processing stabilizer and antioxidant designed for adhesive applications. It has low volatility and is particularly resistant to hydrolysis. Provides storage stability and gives the polymer long term protection against thermooxidative degradation. It protects polymers which are prone to oxidation, during the processing steps (compounding/pelletizing and recycling) from molecular weight change (by chain scission or crosslinking) and prevents discoloration. Irgafos® 168 FF is compatible with polyesters, styrene homo- and copolymers, polyolefins, olefin-copolymers such as (HDPE, LLDPE), polypropylene, polybutene and ethylenevinylacetate copolymers as well as polycarbonates, polyamides and elastomers such as BR, SEBS, SBS, and other organic substrates.
