Used as a rubber additive in tire manufacturing, this chemical acts as an antioxidant and antiozonant. It protects rubber compounds from degradation caused by oxygen and ozone, which helps extend the service life of tires and other rubber products. It is particularly effective in dynamic applications where rubber is exposed to repeated stress and environmental factors. Its long alkyl chain structure provides good compatibility with nonpolar rubber matrices, ensuring uniform dispersion and sustained protection. Commonly used in passenger car and truck tires, especially in sidewalls and treads where ozone exposure is highest.
