Irganox® 1098

Irganox® 1098 by BASF is a N,N’-hexane-1,6-diylbis(3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenylpropionamide)). It is a sterically hindered phenolic antioxidant and an efficient, non-discoloring stabilizer for organic substrates such as plastics, synthetic fibers and elastomers. Provides low volatility, excellent processing, long–term thermal stability and excellent initial resin color. Irganox® 1098 is superior to copper-based stabilizers with respect to color and extraction resistance. It is suitable for polyacetals, polyester, polyurethanes, polyamide as well as saturated- & unsaturated rubber applications. It is especially suited for the stabilization of polyamide molded parts and films. Recommended dosage level in polyamide is 0.05-0.20% and in polyacetals, polyesters, polyurethanes, saturated & unsaturated rubbers is 0.05-0.5%.
