Butylated Hydroxytoluene Technical Grade 25kg

Plastics and Polymers: Acts as a stabiliser in plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene (LDPE, HDPE), polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and hydrocarbon resins.

Elastomers and Rubbers: Used in synthetic and natural rubbers, including styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), EPDM, nitrile, and neoprene.

Petroleum and Fuels: Functions as a fuel additive (known commercially as AO-29) in jet fuels, and serves as an antioxidant in hydraulic fluids, turbine oils, gear oils, and transmission fluids.

Oils and Transformer Fluids: Preserves industrial fats, fatty acids, specialty/synthetic lubricating oils, and electrical transformer oils.

Paints and Inks: Utilised as an anti-skinning agent to prevent premature curing or oxidation on the surface of paints and printing inks.

Chemical Solvents: Added to organic ethers and laboratory chemicals to prevent the hazardous formation of peroxides, and used as a polymerization inhibitor in certain monomers during storage.
