Overview of 4-Tert-Butylcatechol 

4-Tert-Butylcatechol is an off-white to light brown crystalline solid with a slight aromatic odor. This is the derivative of catechol that is substituted by a tert-butyl group, which increases its antioxidant capabilities. It is used extensively for its role as a polymerization inhibitor stabilizer, as well as an antioxidant for various industrial uses. It is especially efficient in stopping the unintentional polymerization that occurs in reactive monomers, such as butadiene, styrene, as well as acrylics, during storage and transport. The excellent thermal stability and resistance to oxidation make it a perfect additive to use for short-term as well as long-term stabilization.

Applications of 4-Tert-Butylcatechol

Polymerization Inhibitor: 4-Tert-Butylcatechol is widely used to inhibit the spontaneous polymerization of monomers such as styrene, vinyl acetate, and butadiene during storage, transport, or distillation processes.

Plastic and Rubber Industry: It acts as an antioxidant to both plastics and synthetic rubbers. It improves the durability of oxidation and thermal stability for a longer shelf-life and enhances performance.

Chemical Intermediates and Stabilizers: It is used as a stabilizer in organic synthesis and chemical manufacturing processes, preventing oxidation and degradation of sensitive compounds.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Always wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing when handling 4-Tert-Butylcatechol.

• Operate in a well-ventilated area or use appropriate local exhaust systems to avoid inhalation.

• Store in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed container, away from heat sources, light, and oxidizing agents.

• In case of a spill, contain and collect the solid material, avoiding dust formation, and dispose of it according to local environmental regulations.
