About Butylated Hydroxy Toluene

Butylated Hydroxy Toluene

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), also known as dibutylhydroxytoluene, is a lipophilic organic compound, chemically a derivative of phenol, that is useful for itsantioxidant properties. European and U.S. regulations allow small amounts to be used as a food additive. In addition to this use, BHT is widely used to prevent oxidation in fluids (e.g. fuel, oil) and other materials where free radicals must be controlled.

BHT is also used as an antioxidant additive in such diverse products as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, rubber, electrical transformer oil In the petroleum industry, where BHT is known as the fuel additive AO-29, it also finds uses in hydraulic fluids, turbine and gear oils, and jet fuels, among other applications. BHT is also used to prevent peroxide formation in diethyl ether and other laboratory chemicals.

Some additive products contain BHT as their primary ingredient, while others contain the chemical merely as a component of their formulation, sometimes alongside butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA).

Versatile Antioxidant Applications

BHT serves as a reliable preservative and antioxidant across industriesprotecting the shelf life of food, preserving cosmetics from rancidity, stabilizing pharmaceuticals, and enhancing the durability of rubber and petroleum products. Its adaptability comes from its high purity, low toxicity, and proven efficacy across diverse formulations.

Compliance and Quality Assurance

Manufactured and exported from India, BHT is produced in accordance with food additive regulations such as FCC, USP, and BP standards. This compliance underlines its suitability for food, pharmaceutical, and technical uses, guaranteeing safety and performance expected in global markets.

Storage and Handling Recommendations

To maintain optimal quality and stability, BHT should be stored in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry place, and away from direct light. Follow recommended safety instructions despite its low toxicity. Standard packaging is in 25 kg fiber drums, with customized solutions available upon request.

FAQs of Butylated Hydroxy Toluene:

Q: How should Butylated Hydroxy Toluene (BHT) be stored to preserve its stability and purity?

A: BHT should be kept in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry place, and protected from light. Proper storage ensures the product remains stable and maintains its purity for up to 2 years from the manufacturing date.

Q: What are the main industrial uses of BHT, and why is it chosen as an additive?

A: BHT is widely used as an antioxidant and preservative in the food, beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, rubber, and petroleum sectors. It prevents oxidation and spoiling, thus prolonging shelf life and maintaining product quality, thanks to its high efficacy and safety profile.

Q: When is customized packaging for BHT available, and how can it be requested?

A: While BHT is typically supplied in 25 kg fiber drums, customized packaging solutions are available to meet specific client needs. To request customized packaging, specify requirements when placing your order with the supplier.

Q: Where is BHT manufactured and exported from, and does it comply with international standards?

A: BHT offered here is manufactured and exported from India. It complies with leading regulatory standards such as FCC, USP, and BP, as well as international food additive regulations, ensuring it meets quality and safety requirements worldwide.

Q: What is the recommended process for handling BHT given its low toxicity?

A: Despite its low toxicity, BHT should be handled as per safety guidelines: use appropriate protective equipment, avoid inhaling dust, and wash hands after handling. These precautions help maintain a safe working environment during processing or packaging.

Q: How is BHT beneficial in formulations containing fats or oils?

A: BHT acts as an antioxidant by inhibiting the oxidation of fats and oils, thereby preventing rancidity and off-flavors. Its use in formulas extends product shelf life and maintains sensory and nutritional qualities, benefiting food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products.
