Uses and synthesis of Butylated Hydroxytoluene powder

Butylated Hydroxytoluene powder is an excellent general phenolic antioxidant, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-corrosive, good storage stability, can inhibit or delay the oxidative degradation of plastics or rubber and extend the service life. Butylated Hydroxytoluene is white or light yellow crystalline powder, soluble in benzene, toluene, methanol, ethanol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, acetic acid, grease, ethyl ester, gasoline and other solvents, insoluble in water and dilute caustic soda solution.

Butylated Hydroxytoluene is an excellent antioxidant additive for various petroleum products and is widely used in various lubricants, gasoline, paraffin and various feedstock oils to prevent the rise in acid value or viscosity of lubricants and fuel oils. Butylated Hydroxytoluene powder is used as a food antioxidant and stabilizer in food-grade plastics and packaged foods to delay rancidity.

Applications/Functions of Butylated Hydroxytoluene powder

• Butylated Hydroxytoluene powder as a food additive can effectively delay the rancidity of food. In the petroleum industry, it is an excellent antioxidant for various lubricants, secondary processing gasoline, paraffin and some other mineral oils; In particular, antioxidants and stabilizers for food grade plastics and polymer materials for packaged foods, as well as white or light-colored products of natural rubber and synthetic rubber
• Butylated Hydroxytoluene is used as an antioxidant in rubber, plastic, gasoline, transformer oil, turbine oil, animal and vegetable oil, food, etc
• Butylated Hydroxytoluene can be used as a feed antioxidant to protect the vitamins in the feed and prevent oxidative loss of fat and protein. It also has certain antibacterial effect.
• Butylated Hydroxytoluene powder is used as an antioxidant in petroleum products, fuels, rubber, plastics, food, feed, pharmaceuticals, etc

Physicochemical Property of Butylated Hydroxytoluene powder

White crystal. The color turns yellow when exposed to light and gradually darkens. Soluble in benzene, toluene, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, petroleum ether, linseed oil, insoluble in water and caustic soda solution at 10℃.

Production methodprocess of Butylated Hydroxytoluene powder

Butylated Hydroxytoluene powder consists of a pressurized reaction of p-cresol and isobutylene in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid and dehydrating agent alumina. The product is distilled and recrystallized in ethanol.
