2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol Mixture
2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol mixture — a liquid mixed-phenol antioxidant offering easy handling and effective ashless oxidation protection for oils and fuels.
The liquid mixed-phenol antioxidant for easy handling
A mixture of di-tert-butylphenol isomers stays liquid at ambient temperature, giving the oxidation protection of a hindered phenol with the convenience of a pourable liquid.
The 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol mixture is a liquid hindered phenolic antioxidant — a blend of phenol isomers that remains pourable at ambient temperature for easy handling and blending, unlike solid phenolics that must be melted or dissolved. As an ashless primary antioxidant, it interrupts the oxidation chain to protect oils and fuels from thickening, acid formation and deposits. Its liquid form is especially convenient for in-line blending of industrial oils, turbine oils and fuels. It is often combined with aminic antioxidants for broad-temperature coverage, and is part of the antioxidant & anticorrosion range.
