General Description
Butylated Hydroxytoluene is a synthetic antioxidant widely used to protect formulations from oxidative degradation. It works by inhibiting free radical formation, thereby preventing the breakdown of fats, oils, and other oxidation-sensitive components during processing and storage. This helps maintain product stability, color, odor, and overall performance over time.
BHT is valued for its effectiveness at low concentrations and its stability under a broad range of temperatures and formulation conditions. Its consistent antioxidant performance makes it a reliable choice in formulations where shelf life extension and protection against oxidative stress are critical quality parameters.
