ANTIOX AHM-EC3 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. The physical form of the components is primarily (but not completely) dusty in order to facilitate the dissolution / melting of the product.
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.

For hot-melt adhesives, ANTIOX AHM-EC3 is very efficient at the following concentrations:
For solventborne adhesives, ANTIOX AHM-EC3 is very efficient at the following concentrations:
ANTIOX AHM-EC3 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.
The product is supplied in plastic bags (20 kg); fibre drums (50 kg).
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).
