| Molecular Structure: |  |
| Properties | |
| Transport: | 2811 |
| Density: | 1.009 g/cm3 |
| Stability: | Stable, combustible. Incompatible with oxidizing agents, ferric salts. Degrades on long exposure to sunlight. |
| Refractive index: | 1.515 |
| Solubility: | <0.1 g/100 mL at 18.5 oC in water |
| Appearance: | white to yellow white solid. |
| Specification: |
Like Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), the conjugated aromatic ring of BHA is able to stabilize free radicals, sequestering them. By acting as free radical scavengers, further free radical reactions are prevented. |
| Storage Temperature: | Store in a cool place in the original container and protect from sunlight. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed container. |
| Usage: | Commercial stabilizers (antioxidants) for food fortification or animal feeds. |
