The product, 6-Tert-Butyl-m-cresol with CAS number 88 - 60 - 8, is a high - quality chemical compound. It is well - known for its excellent performance in various industrial applications. The "High Quality" in its name ensures that it meets strict quality standards. The term "Best Price" indicates that it offers great value for money in the market.
Chemically, its molecular formula is C₁₁H₁₆O. It is a type of cresol derivative with a tert - butyl group at the 6 - position. Physically, it usually appears as a white or off - white crystalline solid. It has a characteristic odor. Its melting point is in a specific range that allows for easy handling in different processing conditions.
6 - Tert - Butyl - m - cresol has a wide range of uses. In the rubber industry, it serves as an antioxidant. It can prevent the rubber from oxidation, which would otherwise lead to aging, cracking, and loss of elasticity. By adding this product to rubber formulations, the service life of rubber products such as tires, rubber seals, and conveyor belts can be significantly extended.
In the plastics industry, it also acts as an antioxidant. Plastics exposed to oxygen, heat, and light over time can degrade. This product can effectively inhibit such degradation, maintaining the mechanical and physical properties of plastics. It is suitable for various types of plastics, including polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene.
Moreover, it can be used in the formulation of lubricating oils. It helps to improve the oxidation stability of lubricating oils, preventing the formation of sludge and varnish. This ensures smooth operation of engines and other mechanical equipment that rely on lubricating oils.
When using 6 - Tert - Butyl - m - cresol, proper safety precautions must be taken. It is recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, to avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes.
In the rubber industry, it can be added during the mixing process of rubber compounds. The recommended dosage usually ranges from 0.5% to 2% by weight of the rubber, depending on the specific type of rubber and the required level of antioxidant protection.
In the plastics industry, it can be incorporated into the plastic resin during the extrusion or molding process. The dosage is typically determined based on the thickness of the plastic product, the expected service environment, and the type of plastic. Generally, it is added at a concentration of 0.1% - 1% by weight.
For lubricating oils, it can be blended with the base oil during the oil - formulation process. The addition amount is usually between 0.1% - 0.5% by weight, depending on the performance requirements of the lubricating oil.
Case 1: A tire manufacturing company used 6 - Tert - Butyl - m - cresol in their tire production. They added it at a dosage of 1% by weight of the rubber compound. After field tests, the tires showed a 30% increase in the resistance to cracking and aging compared to tires without the antioxidant. This led to an extension of the average tire lifespan, which in turn improved customer satisfaction and reduced the company's after - sales service costs.
Case 2: A plastics factory produced polyethylene pipes. They incorporated 0.5% of this product into the polyethylene resin during extrusion. The pipes were installed in an outdoor environment with high sunlight exposure. After two years, the pipes maintained their original mechanical strength and flexibility, while pipes without the antioxidant showed signs of brittleness and cracking.
Case 3: An automotive lubricant manufacturer added 0.3% of 6 - Tert - Butyl - m - cresol to their engine oil. In long - term engine tests, the oil maintained its viscosity and oxidation stability for a longer period. This resulted in better engine performance, reduced engine wear, and longer oil - change intervals for vehicle owners.
