Description
ANTIOX AHM FF2 E 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.
Application
This formula has been designed to grant a wide spectrum protection either to hot-melt polymer systems or to polymer solutions.

Handling
For hot-melt adhesives, ANTIOX AHM FF2 E 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 FF2 E is very efficient at the following concentrations:
- Natural rubber, SBR, chloroprene rubber, polyisoprene, butyl rubber: 0.5-1 % on dry content.
ANTIOX AHM FF2 E can be added directly to the compound, either together with other recipe ingredients, or predispersed into one of them, or dissolved (for solvent solutions).
Packaging
The product is supplied in plastic bags (20 kg); fibre drums (50 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 (original unopened package).
Use within 24 months from production date (unopened and in the original packaging).
Notes
ANTIOX AHM FF2 E being a blend of different components, doesn’t have an exact melting point. The capillary test shows the values indicated in the table.
