Abstract
Tetrakis[3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionyl-oxymethyl]methane with amorphous structure, with glass transition temperature T.sub.g comprised within the range of from about 40.degree. C. to 50.degree. C. and free from endothermic melting peaks at temperatures higher than 50.degree. C. and of up to 200.degree. C. is obtained by means of the melting of crystalline tetrakis[3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenul)-propionyl-oxymethyl]methane and sudden cooling of the molten material.
