BNX® 1037

2-methyl-4, 6-bis (dodecylthiomethyl) phenol. Acts as a high performance multifunctional antioxidant. In comparison to conventional antioxidant systems it provides improved color stability as well as superior viscosity stability in hot melt adhesives after heat aging. Also provides more effective prevention of skin formation. The performance of the product can be enhanced by using it in combination with a secondary antioxidant such as Benefos® 1680 or BNX® DLTDP. It can be used in most applications without co-stabilizers due to its unique chemical structure. Used for the stabilization of hot melt adhesives based on unsaturated styrenic copolymers (SIS, SBS, SBR, etc.), solvent-based adhesives, water-based adhesives, unsaturated styrenic copolymers and polyurethanes. Recommended concentration ranges from 0.1 to 1.0%.
