Vulkanox® N-isopropyl-N’-phenyl-p- Brownish Best anti-flex cracking effect, very good

4010 NA/LG phenylenediamine (IPPD) lentil-shaped ozone protection, good heat protection
granules

Vulkanox® N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)- Brownish Anti-flex cracking effect slightly less

4020/LG N’-phenyl-p- lentil-shaped effective than Vulkanox® 4010 NA, good
phenylenediamine granules anti-aging properties, good ozone
(6PPD) protection

Vulkanox® N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)- Dark brown Anti-flex cracking effect slightly less

4020 Liquid N’-phenyl-p- liquid effective than Vulkanox® 4010 NA, good
phenylenediamine anti-aging properties, good ozone
(6PPD) protection

Vulkanox® N,N’-bis-(1,4- Dark red liquid Optimum ozone protection, anti-aging

4030 dimethylpentyl)-p- properties less effective than with
phenylenediamine (77PD) Vulkanox® 4010 NA and 4020

Vulkanox® 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4- Colourless Not recommended for articles needing very

BHT methylphenol (BHT) crystals good heat resistance; excellent anti-crazing
effect

Vulkanox® 2,2’-methylene-bis-(4- White to light Good protection from heat, oxygen, and
BKF methyl-6-tert.-butylphenol) beige-coloured (when used in conjunction with
(BPH) powder Vulkanox® MB or MB 2) against rubber
poisons; suitable for latex

Vulkanox® 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2- Yellow to Affords very good heat protection,

HS/LG dihydroquinoline,
polymerized (TMQ)
brownish especially in conjunction with Vulkanox®
lentil-shaped MB or MB2; slight anti-flex cracking effect
granules and slight antiozonant effect; improves the
heat resistance of EPDM; also suitable for

a brightening effect, especially if goods are
transparent; used particularly as synergists
for other antiozonants; suitable for latex

Vulkanox® 4- and 5-methyl-2- White to A weak antioxidant effect, which is

MB2/MG-C mercaptobenzimidazole beige-coloured somewhat improved in vulcanizates whose
