What is Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)carbodiimide?
Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)carbodiimide (CAS 2162-74-5) is a monomeric carbodiimide stabilizer that protects polymers and lubricant formulations from hydrolytic degradation. Also marketed as Staboxol 1.
Where is Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)carbodiimide used?
- Polyester, polyurethane and polylactic acid compounds: extends service life
- Lubricant and metalworking fluid formulations: maintains viscosity stability
- Automotive under-hood seals, gaskets and engineering plastic parts
- Film and fiber processing: maintains melt viscosity consistency
- It reacts with carboxylic acid groups from polymer breakdown, interrupting chain scission.
Good to know: It neutralizes acidic degradation products that would otherwise accelerate molecular weight loss.
Commercial specifications
- Packaging from kilogram-scale laboratory quantities to multi-kilogram industrial lots
