Tributylphenol

Tributylphenol (CAS 28471-16-1), also known as 2,4,6-Tributylphenol, is a hindered phenolic compound.

Where is Tributylphenol used?

• Plastics and polymer processing: stabilizer protecting resins and compounded materials from thermal oxidation during high-temperature manufacturing and extrusion
• Rubber and tire compounds: suppresses oxidative breakdown in vulcanized compounds
• Oil and gas: additive in lubricants, process oils and drilling fluids for oxidative stability at elevated temperatures
• It also acts as a carrier solvent in specialty industrial formulations compatible with hydrocarbon-based systems.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm purity specifications and isomeric profile when evaluating supplier documentation for formulation-critical applications.

Commercial specifications

• Bulk and drummed packaging
