Overview

BNX® 1400 is a primary antioxidant in micro-bead form that is produced using an innovative, proprietary form-giving process. It provides protection against thermal oxidative degradation over a broad temperature range in plastics, elastomers, adhesives, tackifier resins, lubricants, waxes, and other substrates. The micro-bead form is inherently low dusting and has excellent flow characteristics.

Applications

BNX® 1400 is a highly effective antioxidant and process stabilizer in polyolefins, including polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, and in olefin copolymers such as EVA. It is also suitable for use in polyacetals, polyamides, polyesters, polyurethanes, PVC, styrenics, elastomers (butyl rubber, SBS, SEBS, EPM, EPDM, and other synthetic rubbers), adhesives, natural and synthetic tackifier resins, lubricants, waxes, and many other organic substrates.

Advantages

  • Low dusting micro-bead product form
  • Excellent flow characteristics for easy handling and accurate dosing
  • Provides protection during high temperature processing and long-term heat aging
  • Synergistic performance with secondary antioxidants (phosphites, thioethers)
  • Non-staining and non-discoloring
  • Good resistance to extraction, very low volatility
  • Odorless and tasteless
  • Extensive FDA clearances

Guidelines for Use

Suggested use levels range from 0.02% to 1% in polyolefins, from 0.2% to 1% in hot melt adhesives, and from 0.1% to 0.5% in synthetic tackifier resins. Combinations of BNX® 1400 with secondary antioxidants such as phosphites and thioethers often show synergistic performance. BNX® 1400 is also suitable for use in combination with light stabilizers, including hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), UV absorbers, and benzoates. The exact formulation to be used is dependent on the substrate, performance requirements, and other factors, and should be determined by the user based on testing to simulate actual conditions of use. Please contact your Mayzo representative for specific recommendations for your application.

Storage

This product may be stored up to two years in a sealed container. Containers should be kept tightly closed when not in use and stored in a cool, dry place. During storage the product may develop a pale greenish color. This is normal and does not affect the antioxidant performance or the color of the substrate.

Safety 

Please consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling or using this product.

FDA Regulations
