Is BHT the same as Antioxidant 1076?

No. BHT and Antioxidant 1076 are different hindered phenolic antioxidants with different CAS numbers, molecular weights and formulation behaviour. The selected antioxidant should match the polymer, rubber, oil or formulation system being qualified.

Which BHT grade should be requested for industrial use?

State the intended application, assay requirement, melting range, colour, volatiles, ash, particle form, packaging and any destination-use limit. These controls make the inquiry clearer than requesting a generic BHT grade only.

What documents should accompany a BHT shipment?

A batch COA should confirm the agreed specification values, while the TDS describes the supplied grade and typical handling information. The SDS should be reviewed before storage, repacking or production use.

Product Description

Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) CAS 128-37-0 is 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, with molecular formula C15H24O.

Synonyms: Butylated hydroxytoluene; BHT; 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol; dibutylhydroxytoluene.

CAS: 128-37-0.

Molecular formula: C15H24O.

It is commonly supplied as white to pale crystalline powder or granules.

It is used as a hindered phenolic antioxidant in industrial materials.

It is used in polymer, masterbatch, rubber and elastomer systems.

It is also used in industrial oils, lubricants, waxes, fuels and process fluids.

Performance depends on the resin, rubber, oil, fuel or formulation route being qualified.

Grades are selected by assay, melting range, colour and volatiles.

BHT is not the same as Antioxidant 1076.

Confirm assay, melting range, colour, volatiles, ash, particle form and destination-use requirements.

For purchasing, specify the target industry, required grade, package and document requirements.

Store sealed and dry, away from heat and incompatible materials, according to the SDS.

Use suitable PPE and exposure controls when handling the material.

Confirm assay, melting range, colour, volatiles and ash on the COA.

Confirm grade, packaging, and specification as required.
