use and storage
This product is an important variety of non-polluting antioxidant, used as natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber and its latex.
How to use: This product is easy to disperse in rubber, but the solubility is not large, it does not change color under sunlight, and it is slightly polluting. When used alone, the dosage is generally 1-1.5 parts. When the dosage exceeds 2 parts, the phenomenon of blooming will occur. The amount used in latex foam rubber is 0.5 parts. Because this product has a bitter taste, it is not suitable for use in food contact rubber products.
Store tightly in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
