For hot-melt adhesives, ANTIOX AHM-EC is very efficient at the following concentrations.
- Thermoplastic rubbers like SIS, SBS: 1.2-1.5% on rubber content.
- Ethylene-vinylacetate: 0.3-0.5% on EVA content.
- Thermoplastic polyurethanes: 0.2-0.4% on PU content.
- Polyamides: 0.5-1.0% on PA content.
For solventborne adhesives, ANTIOX AHM-EC is very efficient at the following concentrations:
- Natural rubber, SBR, chloroprene rubber, polyisoprene, butyl rubber: 0.25-0.5% on dry content.
ANTIOX AHM-EC can be added directly to the compound, either together with other recipe ingredients, or predispersed into one of them, or dissolved (for solvent solutions).
In hot-melt continuos system (by extrusion process) it is advisable that a liquid component (like liquid rosin esters or naphtenic oil, etc.) is used to give some tack to the surface of granules, in order to have a fair distribution over the total mass.
