Introduction
Antioxydant 1010 (SUNNOX® 1010) is the world's most widely used primary hindered phenolic antioxidant, equivalent to BASF Irganox® 1010. Its full IUPAC name is Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphényle)propionate).
With a molecular weight of 1177.6 g/mole — among the highest of any commercial antioxidant — it delivers:
- ✅ Low volatility: Minimal loss during high-temperature processing
- ✅ Low migration: Ideal for food contact and medical packaging
- ✅ Four active phenolic groups per molecule: Outstanding antioxidant efficiency
- ✅ Excellent long-term thermal stability: Protects through the entire product service life
China manufactures over 70% of the world's Antioxidant 1010 supply. SUNNOX® 1010 is typically 30–50% cheaper than BASF Irganox 1010 with equivalent performance confirmed by third-party testing.
