BNX® MD-1024 is a hindered phenolic antioxidant/metal deactivator used in reducing or preventing the harmful effect of copper or other metals upon various polymers.

Applications: BNX® MD-1024 is highly effective in hindering the harmful effect of copper conductors upon polypropylene, high and low density polyethylene and some thermoplastic elastomers used as primary insulation in wire and cable applications. It is also recommended for use in EPDM, peroxide and radiation crosslinked polyethylene, nylon, polyacetal and other organic substrates and for evaluation in polybutene-1, polyurethanes, styrenic copolymers, unsaturated rubber substrates, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylbutyral and other polymers where reactive metals may affect polymer properties. Other application areas: Hot melt and solution adhesives, polymer powder coatings and other coatings on metals, rubber or plastic gaskets and plastic fabricated parts in contact with catalytic metals, oils and lubricants in high temperature contact with metals and contaminants and acid acceptor in polyacetal and other polymers.

Advantages:

• Ease of compounding

• Compatability in polyolefins and most organic polymers

• Excellent extraction resistance to oil and aqueous media
