Screening assessment on MBMBP phenols: chapter 6

Uses

The principal uses of MBMBP are as an antioxidant in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, polypropylene, polyacetal, rubber, latex and adhesives; and as a stabilizer in styrenic and olefin polymers and polyoxymethylene homopolymers and copolymers (HSDB 1998, 1999).

No data have been identified to indicate the levels of MBMBP present in consumer products. However, given the physical and chemical properties of MBMBP, consumer products are not expected to contribute significantly to the exposure of the general Canadian population to this substance.
