Used as a multifunctional additive in lubricants and polymers, this compound acts primarily as an antioxidant and stabilizer. It helps prevent degradation caused by heat, oxygen, and shear stress, making it valuable in engine oils, industrial lubricants, and rubber-based materials. Its sulfur-rich structure enhances extreme pressure performance and wear protection in metal-to-metal applications. Additionally, it improves the long-term thermal stability of synthetic fluids, extending service life under high-temperature conditions. The molecule’s bifunctional design allows for cross-linking in polymer systems, contributing to improved mechanical properties and resistance to aging in vulcanized rubber products.
