Butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) 99.7%, pure 250 gram

Butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) is a synthetic antioxidant that is widely used in various industries, including the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry. It is mainly used as a preservative to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils in products, which extends the shelf life. BHT is often added to foods such as grains, snacks, baking oils, margarines and meats to maintain freshness and quality. It prevents fats and oils from becoming rancid by the reaction with oxygen, so that the taste, odor and texture of the product are preserved. In addition, BHT is also used in cosmetic products such as lip balms, lotions and creams to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils in these products. Although BHT is an effective preservative, there are some safety instructions that must be followed when using it. Firstly, BHT must be used according to the recommended doses and guidelines of the authorities for food safety and cosmetics. Excessive use can lead to possible side effects and health risks. In addition, BHT must be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. It must also be kept out of the reach of children. When handling BHT it is important to wear protective clothing, gloves and safety glasses to prevent direct contact with the skin, eyes and airways. Although BHT is generally considered safe for use in foods and cosmetics, there are some concerns about the possible long -term health effects. Some studies have suggested that BHT may be harmful to the liver and the kidneys in the event of prolonged exposure. It is therefore important to follow the recommended doses and guidelines and to limit the use of products with BHT to what is considered safe. All in all, BHT is a commonly used antioxidant that helps to maintain the freshness and quality of foods and cosmetic products. It is important to follow the safety instructions and to limit their use to what is considered safe, to minimize possible health risks.
