PH-135

2,6-di-tert-butylphenol derivative

Liquid hindered phenol. The default primary antioxidant for hydraulic and turbine oils, and the half of a paired AO system that carries the load below 120 °C.

Cross-reference

Grades a formulator would benchmark PH-135 against. Naming them is not a claim of equivalence — it is where to start the comparison.

The chemistry

Phenolic Antioxidants

Primary low-to-mid temperature radical scavenger

Typical treat rate0.1 – 1.0 %

Hindered phenols built on the 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol motif. They donate a hydrogen atom to peroxy radicals and are the more cost-effective half of a paired antioxidant system below ~120 °C. Liquid grades matter for cold-blend and low-viscosity fluids where a solid will not dissolve without heat.
