This chemical, known as 6PPD, is primarily used as an antioxidant, antiozonant, and stabilizer in various industrial applications. It is particularly effective in protecting polymers and plastics from degradation caused by heat, light, oxidation, and ozone exposure. The compound is often incorporated into rubber products, such as tires and industrial hoses, to prevent cracking and extend their lifespan while maintaining performance under harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, it is utilized in lubricants and oils to prevent oxidation and sludge formation, ensuring smoother operation of machinery. Its ability to inhibit the breakdown of materials makes it valuable in the production of coatings, adhesives, and other materials exposed to environmental stressors.
