In the formulation of adhesives and sealants, maintaining product integrity and performance over time is a critical concern for manufacturers. Degradation due to oxidation can compromise bonding strength, alter viscosity, and reduce shelf life. To address these challenges, the inclusion of effective antioxidants is essential. 4,4'-Thiobis(6-tert-butyl-m-cresol), identified by CAS 96-69-5, is a highly regarded antioxidant that offers significant benefits for adhesive applications. As a leading chemical manufacturer and supplier in China, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides this vital component, ensuring superior quality and reliability for your formulations.

The Impact of Oxidation on Adhesives

Adhesives, whether used in hot melt applications, structural bonding, or consumer products, are exposed to various environmental factors, including heat and oxygen, during their production, storage, and application. These conditions can initiate oxidative processes that lead to the breakdown of the polymer matrix, resulting in a loss of tack, cohesion, and adhesion. Furthermore, oxidation can cause skinning on the surface of hot melt adhesives, making them difficult to process.

4,4'-Thiobis(6-tert-butyl-m-cresol) as an Adhesive Stabilizer

4,4'-Thiobis(6-tert-butyl-m-cresol) (CAS 96-69-5) is a phenolic antioxidant that serves multiple functions in adhesive formulations:

  • Anti-Skinning Agent: In hot melt adhesives, it prevents the formation of a surface skin during storage or heating, ensuring smooth processing and application.
  • Processing Stabilizer: It protects the adhesive formulation from degradation during high-temperature processing, maintaining its viscosity and performance characteristics.
  • Long-Term Thermal Stability: For adhesives used in demanding applications, it provides lasting protection against oxidative breakdown, ensuring reliable bond strength over time.
  • Non-Discolouring: Its neutral colour profile is advantageous for adhesives used in applications where visual clarity is important.

The effectiveness of CAS 96-69-5 is further enhanced by its compatibility with a wide range of adhesive polymers and its synergistic effects when combined with other stabilizers, allowing formulators to achieve optimal protection at cost-effective levels.
