Used primarily as an antioxidant in various industrial applications. It helps in stabilizing polymers and plastics by preventing oxidative degradation, thereby extending their lifespan. Commonly employed in the production of rubber and synthetic materials to enhance durability under heat and stress. Also utilized in the formulation of lubricants and fuels to inhibit oxidation and maintain performance. In the cosmetics industry, it serves as an antioxidant in skincare products to protect against spoilage caused by exposure to air and light, and to safeguard the skin from damage by free radicals and UV radiation. Additionally, it is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other important industrial chemicals. It also finds use in research and development for studying antioxidant mechanisms and developing new materials with improved resistance to environmental factors.
