Used as an antioxidant in a wide range of applications to prevent oxidative degradation. Commonly added to plastics, rubber, and adhesives to extend material life by inhibiting polymerization and thermal breakdown during processing and storage. Widely applied in the food industry to preserve fats and oils, preventing rancidity and maintaining flavor stability. Also found in cosmetics and personal care products to protect ingredients from air and light exposure. Frequently used in fuels and lubricants to improve stability and performance over time. Its effectiveness, low toxicity, and compatibility with various systems make it a preferred choice for long-term protection against oxidation.
