Function:
Antioxidant function: The phenolic hydroxyl structure of TBC gives it strong antioxidant capacity.
Stabilizing function: As a stabilizer in the manufacturing process of polyurethane foam, it helps to maintain the structure and performance of the foam.
Antibacterial function: It has a certain inhibitory effect on bacteria and fungi.
Application:
Rubber and plastic industry: In the production of synthetic rubber and plastics, TBC acts as an antioxidant and stabilizer to prevent rubber and plastic from aging, hardening, and becoming brittle due to oxidation and thermal degradation during processing, storage, and use, thereby improving the durability and stability of the product.
Agriculture: As a stabilizer and synergist of pesticides, it can improve the stability and efficacy of pesticides, reduce the decomposition and loss of pesticides in the environment, and extend the effective period of pesticides.
