Antioxidant 1076, known by its chemical name Octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate, is one of the most widely used sterically hindered phenolic antioxidants in the plastics and polymer industries. As a primary antioxidant, this compound plays an important role in preventing thermal and oxidative degradation of polymers.

Characteristics of Antioxidant 1076

Antioxidant 1076 is odorless, tasteless and has low toxicity. It has high resistance to light and temperature and can show stable performance in high-temperature production processes. Other features include:

•        High thermal and optical stability

•        Good resistance to solvent extraction

•        Excellent compatibility with a variety of polymers

•        No negative impact on the appearance or color of the final product

Function of Antioxidant 1076

This antioxidant is particularly effective in preventing free radical chain oxidation. Under high temperature conditions or during storage, polymers undergo oxidative degradation, which Antioxidant 1076 helps to inhibit by increasing the durability, stability and final quality of the product.

Antioxidant 1076 Applications

•        Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP)

•        Polystyrene and ABS

•        Polyamides and polycarbonates

•        Elastomers and synthetic rubber

•        Synthetic fibers and adhesives

•        Paint, oil and lubricant industries

Benefits of using Antioxidant 1076

•        Increase the shelf life of polymer products

•        Prevent discoloration, loss of mechanical properties and degradation due to heat or light

•        Suitable for food applications in some standards (if approved)

•        High efficiency at low concentrations
