Irganox® 1076 Melt

Irganox® 1076 Melt is octadecyl-3-[3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl]propionate] by BASF. It is a highly efficient sterically hindered phenolic primary antioxidant. Provides processing and long-term thermal stabilization. It is odorless, stable to light and has excellent color retention. It protects the substrates against thermo-oxidative degradation. It has low volatility and high resistance to extraction. Irganox® 1076 Melt is compatible with polyolefin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene-1 as well as in engineering plastics, styrene homo- and copolymers polyurethanes and elastomers. Its recommended dosage rate is 0.05 % to 0.2 % for long-term thermal stability, in polyolefin is 0.1-0.4% and for styrene homo- and copolymers is 0.1-0.3%. Concentration levels of Irganox® 1076 Melt in hot melt adhesives range from 0.2 % to 1 % and in synthetic tackifier resins between 0.1 % and 0.5 %.
