The product we are introducing here is Methyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate with the CAS number 6386-38-5. It is factory - supplied and comes with a low price, which makes it an attractive option for various industries. Its molecular formula is C₂₀H₃₂O₃, and it has a certain molecular weight. Physically, it may present as a solid or a liquid depending on the specific production process and storage conditions. This product is known for its relatively stable chemical properties under normal circumstances.
Methyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate has a wide range of applications. In the polymer industry, it is often used as an antioxidant. Polymers, especially those exposed to oxygen, heat, and light during processing and use, are prone to oxidation and degradation, which can lead to a decrease in mechanical properties, discoloration, and other issues. This product can effectively inhibit the oxidation process of polymers, thereby extending their service life and maintaining their performance. In the rubber industry, it can also play a similar role, protecting rubber products from aging and deterioration.
Moreover, in some lubricant formulations, it can be added to enhance the oxidation resistance of the lubricant. This helps to reduce the formation of sludge and varnish in the lubricating system, ensuring smooth operation of mechanical equipment and reducing wear and tear.
When using Methyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, it is crucial to follow certain procedures. First, make sure the working environment is well - ventilated to avoid inhalation of the product. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, to prevent direct contact with the skin and eyes.
For polymer applications, it can be added during the polymerization process or mixed with the polymer resin before processing. The dosage usually depends on the specific polymer type, processing conditions, and the required level of antioxidant performance. Generally, a small amount (usually a few tenths of a percent to a few percent) can achieve significant antioxidant effects. In the case of lubricants, it should be evenly mixed with the base oil according to the recommended formulation ratio.
Case 1: Polymer Film Production
A plastics manufacturing company was producing polyethylene films for packaging applications. Before using Methyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, the films showed signs of yellowing and brittleness after a few months of storage, especially when exposed to sunlight. After adding this antioxidant at a dosage of 0.5% during the extrusion process, the films maintained their original transparency and flexibility even after one year of storage. This not only improved the quality of the products but also increased customer satisfaction.
Case 2: Rubber Sealing Ring Manufacturing
A rubber products factory was facing problems with the aging of rubber sealing rings. The sealing rings were losing their elasticity and sealing performance over time. By incorporating 1.5% of Methyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate into the rubber compound, the aging resistance of the sealing rings was significantly improved. The rings could maintain their sealing performance for a much longer period, reducing the frequency of replacements and maintenance costs for their customers.
