Dragonox-1726 is a multifunctional phenolic antioxidant suitable for stabilization of organic polymers particularly of adhesives, specially Hot Melt Adhesives(HMA) based on unsaturated polymers such as SBS or SIS as well as Solvent Born Adhesives (SBA) based on elastomers (Natural Rubber NR, Chloroprene Rubber CR, SBR, etc) and Water Born Adhesives. Dragonox-1726 is also suitable for the stabilization of block-copolymers such as SBS and SIS and for Polyurethane Products such as PUR sealants. It effectively protects the substrate against thermooxidative degradation. Dragonox-1726 is non-staining, non discoloring, low in volatility, resistant to extraction and suitable to light and heat.
