VITAMIN E/DLTDP STABILIZER SYSTEM FOR CHEWING GUM SBR

摘要

VITAMIN E/DLTDP STABILIZER SYSTEM FOR CHEWING GUM SBR Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is widely used as a chewing gum base in lieu of natural gums. It is necessary to protect chewing gum SBR with a food grade antioxidant stabilizer system. This invention discloses a chewing gum rubber composition (gum base) that utilizes as an antioxidant stabilizer system a combination of dilauryl thiodipropionate and at least one member selected from the group consisting of t-butyl-hydroquinone (TBHQ), and Vitamin E.
