What is Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate)?

Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate) (CAS 6683-19-8) is a hindered phenolic primary antioxidant used to protect polymers, lubricants, and industrial formulations from oxidative degradation.

Where is Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate) used?

  • Plastics and polymer processing: stabilizes polyolefins, engineering thermoplastics, and elastomers against thermal oxidation during high-temperature extrusion and molding
  • Lubricants: prevents viscosity breakdown and deposit formation in synthetic and mineral base oils under sustained operating conditions
  • Adhesives and sealants: maintains bond integrity and prevents discoloration in heat-cured systems
  • Coatings and packaging: protects film substrates
  • It protects printed surfaces from oxidative yellowing throughout the product shelf life.

Good to know: It functions by scavenging free radicals generated by heat and oxygen exposure, extending the functional lifespan of finished materials during processing and long-term service.
