BHT Antioxidant (CAS 128-37-0) – HYCO | Technical Grade Phenolic Antioxidant

BHT Antioxidant HYCO white crystalline powder CAS 128-37-0
Product Overview

BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) is a phenolic antioxidant widely used in rubber, polymer, and industrial chemical formulations to reduce oxidative degradation during processing and storage. Supplied as a white crystalline powder, it is compatible with various organic media and hydrocarbon systems.

BHT functions by interrupting free radical oxidation mechanisms, thereby assisting in maintaining material stability during high-temperature processing such as mixing, extrusion, and molding. It is commonly incorporated in elastomers, plastics, adhesives, and related formulations where thermal and oxidative exposure may occur.
