Usage and application of Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT):
Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) is an antioxidant. Oxygen reacts preferentially with BHT rather than oxidizing fats or oils, thereby protecting them from spoilage. BHT is used as an antioxidant in products such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, rubber and transformer oil. Antioxidant for hydrocarbon products such as Lubricating Oils, Plastics, Rubber, Transformer Oil, Industrial Fats, Oils and Fatty Acids, Paper Board Coatings, Pet Foods & Paraffin Waxes. Also used in feed & Forage products as antioxidant.
