Ciba IRGANOX 1076

Phenolic Primary Antioxidant for Processing and Long-Term Thermal
Stabilization
Characterization
IRGANOX 1076, a sterically hindered phenolic antioxidant, is highly efficient, non discoloring
stabilizer for organic substrates such as plastics, synthetic fibers, elastomers, adhesives, waxes, oils
and fats. It protects these substrates against thermo-oxidative degradation. IRGANOX 1076 is
odorless, stable to light and has excellent color retention. It has good compatibility with most
substrates, low volatility and high resistance to extraction.

Applications
IRGANOX 1076 can be applied in polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene-1 as

well as in other polymers such as engineering plastics, styrene homo- and copolymers,
polyurethanes, elastomers, adhesives, and other organic substrates.
Features/benefits
IRGANOX 1076 can be used in combination with other additives such as costabilizers (e.g.
thioesters, phosphites, phosphonites), light stabilizers, and other functional stabilizers. The
effectiveness of the blends of IRGANOX 1076 with IRGAFOS 168 (IRGANOX B-blends) or with
IRGAFOS 168 and Hydroxylamine FS042 is particularly noteworthy.

Guidelines for use
Physical Properties
500 ppm - 2000 ppm of IRGANOX 1076 provide long-term thermal stability to the polymer.
Concentrations up to several percent can be used depending on the substrate and the requirements
of the end application.
In polyolefins the concentration levels for IRGANOX 1076 range between 0.1% and 0.4%
depending on substrate, processing conditions and long-term thermal stability requirements. The
optimum level is application specific.
IRGANOX 1076 is recommended for styrene homo- and copolymers at a concentration level
ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 %.
Concentration levels of IRGANOX 1076 in hot melt adhesives range from 0.2% to 1% and in
synthetic tackifier resins between 0.1% and 0.5%.
Extensive performance data of IRGANOX 1076 in various organic polymers and applications are
available upon request.
