Used primarily as an antioxidant in the production of polymers, plastics, and rubber to prevent degradation caused by oxidation. It helps extend the lifespan of these materials by stabilizing them against heat and light exposure. Additionally, it finds application in the preservation of oils, fats, and lubricants, enhancing their stability and performance. In the cosmetics industry, it serves as a stabilizing agent in formulations to prevent spoilage and maintain product integrity. Its properties make it valuable in industrial and consumer products where oxidative resistance is critical.
