TBHQ is White to light tan crystalline powder in appearance and is 99 wt. % (min) pure. TBHQ is an established and excellent antioxidant for vegetable oils and fats. The use of TBHQ (about 0.02 wt%) stabilizes oils like Palm Oil, Soyabean Oil, Sunflower Oil, Peanut Oil, Coconut Oil, Mustard Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Corn Oil etc. TBHQ will ensure good storage properties for both the oil and the cooked product. TBHQ is also found to be very effective in protecting partially refined oils and crude oils during storage prior to refining.

TBHQ can also be easily incorporated in Fats, Animal fats, Lemon oil, Lards, Butter fat, Orange oil etc. for stability. TBHQ in combination with BHA, BHT and Propyl Gallate can be used effectively for various other antioxidant applications. Additionally, we are celebrated as one of the prime tertiary butyl hydroquinone exporters from the county.
