Applications
Protection: Sovchem® TMQ is a moderate antioxidant that is very long lasting. When used in high amount (above 5 phr) it is a mild antiozonant. Sovchem® TMQ also protects against metal degradation (copper and manganese) and heat degradation. Sovchem® TMQ is a very good antioxidant, heat age resistor and flex cracking resistor especially in rubber articles subjected to severe high temperature conditions. Used with NR, IR, SBR, BR, NBR, EPDM.

Synergism: Sovchem® TMQ is synergistic with p-phenylene diamine type antidegradants.
Staining: Sovchem® TMQ gives a light yellowish stain in light colored compounds. It has very little migration stain at 1.0 phr or less.

Cure Effect: Sovchem® TMQ affects the cure systems in NR, IR, SBR, BR, and EPDM. It has
an activating effect and poor scorch safety in CR and NBR polymers. It reduces the bin storage of CR.

Product Applications: Carpet backing, tires, hoses, seals, retreads, shoes, mechanical goods, wire coat compounds.
