Product Description

General description:

Chemical Formula: C15H24O

Butylated hydroxytoluene, also known as dibutylhydroxytoluene, is a lipophilic organic compound, chemically a derivative of phenol, that is useful for its antioxidant properties.

Application & Usage:

It is a particularly good antioxidant for baked food products and also for stabilizing meat, fish and bone meals
It prevents the oxidization of fuels, such as mineral and lubricating oils
It is an universal and highly effective stabilizer for natural rubber, various synthetic rubber and lattices

Versatile Antioxidant for Multiple Industries

BHT serves as an efficient synthetic antioxidant for sectors including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Its primary role is to prevent oxidative spoilage, thus extending the durability and freshness of products. This adaptability makes it a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking consistent quality and reliable performance.

Superior Stability and Quality

Processed as a high-purity crystalline solid, BHT boasts excellent heat resistance and a stable profile under normal storage conditions. With a purity of 99% and approved by international regulatory agencies, it ensures safety and meets stringent quality benchmarks for industrial, food, and pharma applications.

FAQs of Butylated Hydroxy Toluene (BHT):

Q: How is BHT (Butylated Hydroxy Toluene) typically used in various industries?

A: BHT is commonly used as an antioxidant in the food industry to prolong shelf life, in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to maintain product stability, and in industrial processes to prevent oxidation in oils and other products.

Q: What are the benefits of using BHT as a preservative?

A: BHT effectively inhibits oxidative degradation, preserving flavor, color, and nutritional value in foods, as well as maintaining the integrity of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. This extends the shelf life and keeps products safe for consumption or use.

Q: When and where should BHT be stored for optimal stability?

A: BHT should be kept in a cool, dry place within tightly closed containers to preserve its stability. Proper storage away from moisture and direct sunlight ensures product efficacy throughout its 24-month shelf life.

Q: What safety guidelines should be followed when handling BHT?

A: While BHT is not considered poisonous at approved levels, it must still be handled with care. Use protective gear, avoid inhalation or direct skin contact, and refer to safety data sheets for specific best practices.

Q: How can BHT be used in both food and non-food products?

A: BHTs neutral pH and mild odor make it ideal for various applicationsranging from preserving edible oils and cereals to stabilizing cosmetics and pharmaceutical formulations, all within the safety limits approved by authorities.

Q: Where is BHT manufactured and exported from, and in what packaging?

A: BHT is produced and supplied in India, often exported globally. It is available in 25 kg fiber drums or custom packaging as required, ensuring secure and practical transport for bulk buyers.
