Characterization
Antioxidant 1520 L is a multifunctional liquid phenolic antioxidant for organic substrates such as elastomers, plastics, adhesives, sealants, oils and lubricants. It effectively protects the substrate against thermooxidative
degradation during processing and long-term heat aging.
Antioxidant 1520 L is non-staining, non-discoloring, low in volatility, and stable to light and heat.
Antioxidant 1520 L is specially recommended for emulsion and solution polymerized elastomers, such as BR, SBR, NBR, SBS and others.

Features/benefits
Antioxidant 1520 L is unique in its ability to provide both processing and long-term heat aging stability used alone, at low levels and without costabilizers. Where necessary Antioxidant 1520 L can be used with other additives such as secondary antioxidants, benzofuranone, light stabilizers and other functional stabilizers.
The effectiveness of these products in a wide range of elastomers coupled with extensive food contact approvals makes Antioxidant 1520 L an excellent choice where consolidation of antioxidant systems is desirable. In addition, the liquid, low viscosity nature of Antioxidant 1520 L makes bulk delivery and storage very convenient.
Applications
Antioxidant is an effective thermooxidative stabilizer in a wide range of solution polymerized, emulsion polymerized and thermoplastic elastomers including: BR, SBR, NBR, IR, SBS, and SIS as well as natural rubber. The antioxidant is effective both as a raw elastomer and compound stabilizer. It is also effective in various adhesive and sealant applications and latex applications.
Antioxidant 1520 L is not recommended for odor sensitive hot melt adhesives or their raw materials.
Guidelines for use
The normal usage levels for Antioxidant 1520 L range between 0.05 % and 0.3 % . For special applications and, de-pending on substrate, manufacturing process and performance requirements, the optimal concentration may be as high as 1.0 % or even more .
Extensive performance data for Antioxidant 1520 L in various polymers and applications are available on request.
