Guidelines for Use

Recommended concentrations for use in adhesives range from 0.5 to 1.5%. Combinations of BNX TAHQ with other antioxidants such as hindered phenols, phosphites, thioethers, and multifunctional antioxidants often show synergistic performance. BNX TAHQ is also suitable for use in combination with 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. Please contact Mayzo for specific recommendations.
