Product Description
Rubber Antioxidant TMQ (RD) CAS 26780-96-1 is a polymeric amine antidegradant, with EC 500-051-3 and polymer formula (C12H15N)n.
Synonyms: TMQ; RD; Poly(1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline); Polymerized 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline.
CAS: 26780-96-1.
Polymer formula: (C12H15N)n.
It is supplied as amber to brown granules or flakes.
It is positioned as a rubber antioxidant for natural and synthetic rubber compounds.
It is used to improve resistance to heat and oxidative aging in rubber compounds.
It is widely used in tires, rubber tubes, belts, rubber shoes, molded technical goods and general industrial rubber products.
It can also be used in latex products and rubber compounds based on natural or synthetic rubber.
TMQ and RD are common names for the same polymeric quinoline antioxidant identified by CAS 26780-96-1.
TMQ is an amine antioxidant and can contribute to discoloration in light-coloured or contact products.
Commercial grades commonly have a softening point around 80-100 C.
Confirm appearance, softening point, heat loss, ash, ethanol-insoluble content, and dimer/trimer/tetramer distribution where relevant.
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Use suitable PPE when handling the material to prevent dust or granule exposure and skin or eye contact.
Confirm packaging suitable for the solid form and order quantity, and follow the current SDS.
Confirm grade, packaging, and specification as required.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
What is Rubber Antioxidant TMQ RD CAS 26780-96-1?
A: Rubber Antioxidant TMQ, also called RD, is a polymeric amine antidegradant based on 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline. It is used in rubber compounds to improve resistance to heat and oxidative aging. -
Q:
Are TMQ and RD the same rubber antioxidant?
A: Yes. TMQ and RD are common names for the same polymeric quinoline antioxidant identified by CAS 26780-96-1. The supplied grade should still be confirmed by physical form, softening range and batch release data. -
Q:
What rubber products is TMQ used in?
A: TMQ is widely used in tires, rubber tubes, belts, rubber shoes, molded technical goods and general industrial rubber products. It can also be used in latex products and rubber compounds based on natural or synthetic rubber. -
Q:
Is TMQ suitable for light-coloured or non-staining rubber goods?
A: TMQ is an amine antioxidant and can contribute to discoloration in light-coloured or contact products. It is normally evaluated for dark rubber compounds, and suitability should be confirmed on the finished formulation and service conditions. -
Q:
Which TMQ specifications should a rubber compounder confirm?
A: Confirm appearance, softening point, heat loss, ash, ethanol-insoluble content and, where relevant, the dimer/trimer/tetramer distribution. Commercial grades commonly have a softening point around 80-100 deg C, but acceptance should follow the approved compound specification.
