Characterization

Antioxidant 1076, a sterically hindered phenolic antioxidant, is highly efficient, non discoloring stabilizer for organic substrates such as plastics, synthetic fibers, elastomers, adhesives, waxes, oils and fats. It protects these substrates against thermo-oxidative degradation. IRGANOX 1076 is odorless, stable to light and has excellent color retention. It has good compatibility with most substrates, low volatility and high resistance to extraction.

Applications

Antioxidant 1076 can be applied in polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene-1 as well as in other polymers such as engineering plastics, styrene homo- and copolymers, polyurethanes, elastomers, adhesives, and other organic substrates.

Features/benefits

Antioxidant 1076 can be used in combination with other additives such as costabilizers (e.g. thioesters, phosphites, phosphonites), light stabilizers, and other functional stabilizers.
