AO-B215 is a compound antioxidant made by blending AO-1010 (BHT) and AO-168 (Dilauryl Thiodipropionate) in a fixed ratio.
This ready-to-use blend provides dual-function protection:
It is a preformulated antioxidant system that simplifies formulation and improves stability for polyolefins and other thermoplastics.
