Product Overview

Camlin Fine Sciences' Xtendra BHT (butylated hydroxy toluen) is a food-grade, low-molecular-weight hindered phenolic antioxidant that mitigates degradation caused by thermal, photolytic, and chronological factors in organic materials. As the globally most widely accepted and approved antioxidant, BHT is a crucial additive for enhancing product stability. Xtendra BHT, a 100% butylated hydroxytoluene granular crystal, exhibits lipophilic properties, making it an effective shelf-life solution for applications in food and cosmetics
