For HOT-MELT adhesives, the recommended dosage of ANTIOX AHM-HT is:
- thermoplastic rubbers, like SIS, SBS: 1.2-1.5% on rubber content;
- ethylene-vinylacetate polymers: 0.3-0.4% on EVA content;
- polyamides: 0.5-1.0% on PA content
For SOLVENT BASED adhesives, the recommended dosage of ANTIOX AHM-HT is: - natural rubber, SBR, chloroprene rubber, polyisoprene, butyl rubber: 0.25-0.5% on dry content.
ANTIOX AHM-HT can be added directly to the compound, together with the other ingredients, or it can be predispersed into one of them, or dissolved in case of solvent based products.
When used in a hot-melt continuos system (extrusion process), we recommend adding a liquid component (such as a liquid rosin ester, naphtenic oil, or similar), to give some tack to the surface of granules. This allows for an equal distribution of the antioxidant over the total mass (volumetric dosing).
