Antioxidant 1076

Octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate

The monophenolic antioxidant prized for solubility in styrenics and adhesives.

Product Description

Antioxidant 1076 is a monophenolic, high molecular weight primary antioxidant whose long octadecyl ester chain gives it outstanding solubility in nonpolar systems — polystyrene, ABS, HIPS, polyolefins and hot-melt adhesives — where it protects without blooming or haze formation.

In styrenic polymers, 1076 preserves impact strength and prevents yellowing during high-temperature injection molding. In EVA, adhesives and lubricants, its low volatility maintains protection through extended heat exposure.

Typical loadings are 0.05–0.3 wt%, often blended with phosphite AO-168 or thioester synergists. Aolong 1076 is crystallized to ≥98.0% assay with very low color for crystal-clear styrenic products.
