- Use Level
- 0.1 and 2%
- Applications
BNX 358 is a highly effective antioxidant for the stabilization of elastomers (especially EPDM and polybutadiene), polyolefins (especially in pipe and in wire & cable grades), styrenic polymers, PVC, hot melt adhesives, and in lubricants. It also functions as disproportionation agent in rosin ester production.
- Guidelines for Use
The recommended loading levels in plastics, elastomers, hot melt adhesives, and lubricants range between about 0.1 and 2%. BNX 358 can also be used in combination with other additives, including antioxidants (primary and/or secondary) and light stabilizers. The exact formulation to be used is dependent on the substrate, performance requirements, and other factors, and should be determined by the user based on testing to simulate actual conditions of use.
