Widely used as an antioxidant in industrial applications, it prevents oxidative degradation of materials. In the plastics and rubber industry, it protects polymers from thermal and oxidative damage during processing and extends product shelf life. Commonly added to fuels and lubricants to inhibit gum and sludge formation by stabilizing against autoxidation. Used in cosmetics and personal care products to preserve oils and prevent rancidity. Also found in food products as a preservative to maintain flavor and color by preventing fat and oil oxidation. Its effectiveness, low toxicity, and stability make it suitable for diverse applications where long-term oxidative stability is required.
