Description
ANTIOX AHM-EC3 PELLETS is a synergistic blend of various non-staining antioxidants, including primary phenolic stabilizers, thio-esters for the long term stability and phosphites for high temperature protection. Its physical form allows very low dust formation in handling and good flowing properties.
Application
This formula has been designed to grant a wide spectrum protection either to hot-melt polymer systems or to polymer solutions. It can be used with adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesives, coatings, injection moulding or extrusion compounds.

Handling
For hot-melt adhesives, ANTIOX AHM-EC3 PELLETS is very efficient at the following concentrations:
- Thermoplastic rubbers like SIS, SBS: 1.2-1.5% on rubber content;
- Ethylene-vinylacetate: 0.3-0.5% on EVA content;
- Thermoplastic polyurethanes: 0.2-0.4% on PU content;
- Polyamides: 0.5-1.0% on PA content.
For solventborne adhesives, ANTIOX AHM-EC3 PELLETS is very efficient at the following concentrations:
- Natural rubber, SBR, chloroprene rubber, polyisoprene, butyl rubber: 0.25-0.5% on dry content.
ANTIOX AHM-EC3 PELLETS can be added directly to the compound, either together with other recipe ingredients, or predispersed into one of them, or dissolved (for solvent solutions).
In hot-melt continuos system (by extrusion process) it is advisable that a liquid component (like liquid rosin esters or naphtenic oil, etc.) is used to give some tack to the surface of granules, in order to have a fair distribution over the total mass.
Packaging
The product is supplied in plastic bags (20 kg).
Storing
The product shall be stored in cool and dry conditions, protected from humidity, heat, sunlight and water.
Once opened, each individual package should be used completely to avoid hydrolysis. Storage at elevated temperatures, exposure to direct heat and/or moisture could significantly decrease product shelf life.
Use within 24 months from production date (unopened and in the original packaging).
