TMQ Rubber Antioxidant Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Polymerised 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,2-Dihydroquinoline
- Antioxidant RD
- Rubber Antioxidant RD
- TMQ
TMQ rubber antioxidant supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover polymerised 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline, CAS 26780-96-1, also known as antioxidant RD. It is used in natural and synthetic rubber compounds to support resistance to oxidative and heat ageing.
Commercial forms include flakes, free-flowing granules, powder and low-dust or masterbatch presentations. Buyers may specify softening point, ash, loss on heating, insolubles, particle size and the active content or carrier used in a pre-dispersed grade.
Applications include tyres, hoses, belts, footwear and moulded or extruded technical rubber goods. TMQ is a distinct rubber antioxidant rather than an alternate name for plastics stabilisers such as antioxidant 1010 or 168.
Send the required form, specification, compound application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about TMQ rubber antioxidant
What is TMQ rubber antioxidant used for?
TMQ is used to slow oxidative and heat ageing in natural and synthetic rubber compounds. It is commonly specified in tyres, hoses, belts and technical rubber goods as part of a broader stabilisation and cure package.
What does antioxidant RD mean?
Antioxidant RD is a common trade designation for polymerised 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline, also called TMQ. The CAS identity and required grade should be included where an abbreviation could be ambiguous.
Which TMQ form should I request?
Flakes and granules provide convenient solid handling, powder can disperse quickly, and low-dust or masterbatch forms support cleaner dosing. The chosen form should match the plant's weighing, mixing and carrier-polymer requirements.
Is TMQ the same as antioxidant 1010 or antioxidant 168?
No. TMQ is an amine-type rubber antioxidant, while antioxidant 1010 and antioxidant 168 are different stabilisers widely used in plastics. Keep the exact additive named in the qualified rubber formulation.
What information is needed for a TMQ quotation?
Provide the form, softening and impurity limits, active content for a masterbatch, application, quantity, delivery location and required documents. Availability and packing are confirmed with the quotation.
