Product Overview

DTDTP works like other thioesters: it decomposes hydroperoxides and boosts long-term heat stability when used with a hindered phenolic antioxidant. Being liquid, it is easy to meter into liquid systems, masterbatch lines and compounding with liquid dosing.

Typical specification. Every shipment is supplied with a batch COA; the limits that apply to your order are confirmed in the quotation and contract.

Key Benefits

Liquid dosing

Pumpable, so it suits liquid feed systems and avoids powder handling.

Heat-aging synergy

Extends long-term heat stability together with a phenolic antioxidant.

Good compatibility

Branched alkyl chains give good compatibility in ABS, polyolefins and oils.

Technical & Buying Information

Selecting an Antioxidant System

Your requirementWhat usually works
Color and melt-flow stability during extrusion or moldingPhosphite secondary antioxidant (168) with a phenolic primary
Long-term heat aging in serviceHigh-MW phenolic primary (1010), often with a thioester (DLTDP / DSTDP)
Thin film, fiber, low-melting compoundingLower-melting phenolic (1076) for easy dispersion
Repeated processing / recycled contentRaise the phosphite share in the blend and check yellowing after each pass
Humid storage or long transitHydrolysis-resistant phosphite such as 168; keep bags sealed
Food-contact articlesAsk for the grade-specific food-contact statement before trials
Replacing an existing gradeSend your current TDS or COA; we match on the parameters you approve

Antioxidant DTDTP Buyer Guide

Name the failure you want to prevent

Yellowing or melt-flow change during processing points to the phosphite share; embrittlement or cracking after months in service points to the phenolic and thioester share. Note recycled content and the number of extrusion passes.

Start from a proven blend

Most polyolefin packages start from a phenolic primary plus a phosphite secondary, then adjust. Send your current package and we suggest a starting blend for the trial instead of changing several variables at once.

Compare the numbers that matter

For powders: assay, melting range, volatiles and light transmittance at 425/500 nm (a direct read on color). Ask for the same parameters on our COA that appear on your incoming-inspection sheet.

Lock in supply terms

Agree packaging, monthly volume, destination port and required documents up front. A matching CAS number alone does not qualify a new source; run your trial and keep the approved lot COA as the reference.

Antioxidant DTDTP FAQ

Why choose DTDTP over DLTDP?

Mainly for handling: DTDTP is liquid, so it suits liquid dosing and liquid formulations. Performance as a heat-aging synergist is similar.

Does it need a phenolic antioxidant?

Yes. Like other thioesters it works best with a hindered phenol such as 1010 or 1076.

Which parameters should I check on the COA?

Appearance and color, acid value and assay. Tell us your incoming limits and we quote against them.

Can I get a sample before ordering?

Yes. Tell us the polymer, the test you plan to run and the quantity you need. Samples ship with a COA so you can compare the lot against your current material.

What if a COA does not match our agreed specification?

Send us the agreed specification and the COA showing the difference (parameter, unit and test method). We check it with the production batch record before you accept the material, and replace or re-test where the lot is out of specification.
