2,6-di-tert-butylphenol

2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol (CAS 128-39-2), commonly referenced as 2,6-DTBP, is a hindered phenolic compound used primarily as an antioxidant, stabilizer, and chemical intermediate.

Where is 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol used?

• Lubricants, fuels, and hydraulic fluids: inhibits oxidation and extends service life under high-temperature operating conditions
• Polymer and rubber compounding: prevents thermal degradation in polyolefins, elastomers, and tire compounds
• Precursor in the production of hindered phenolic antioxidants such as BHT and other derivatives
• Coatings, adhesives, and packaging materials: derivatives
• Specialty applications: catalyst component and stabilizer in UV-sensitive formulations
• It also acts as a catalyst component and stabilizer in personal care and printing ink systems.

Commercial specifications

• Purity grades typically ranging from technical to high-purity
• Standard packaging includes drums and IBC containers suited for bulk industrial procurement
