Concentrations up to several percent may be used depending on the substrate and the requirements of the end application. In polyolefins the concentration levels for Irganox 1010 range between 0.05 % and 0.4 % depending on substrate, processing conditions and long-term thermal stability requirements. The optimum level has to be determined application specific. Concentration levels of Irganox 1010 in hot melt adhe- sives range from 0.2 % to 1 %, in synthetic tackifier resins, Irganox 1010 concentration ranges between 0.1 % and 0.5 %.
