Description

Cardin CAS NO 477-32-7 is a high-purity chemical compound, also known as 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), widely recognized for its potent antioxidant properties. This compound is critical for preventing oxidative degradation and extending the shelf life of a diverse range of industrial and consumer products. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the plastics, rubber, food, cosmetics, and fuel industries seeking reliable stabilization solutions.

Application

• Primary antioxidant in polyolefin plastics (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene) to prevent polymer degradation during processing and service life.
• Stabilizer in synthetic rubbers and elastomers to protect against heat and oxygen-induced aging.
• Food-grade preservative (E321) in edible oils, fats, and food packaging materials to inhibit rancidity.
• Additive in jet fuels, lubricants, and transformer oils to enhance oxidative stability.
• Antioxidant component in cosmetics and personal care products such as lipsticks and creams.
• Stabilizing agent in pharmaceutical formulations to maintain the potency of active ingredients.
• Protective additive in adhesives, waxes, and industrial coatings.
