HIDE SMILES / InChI
4-tert-Butylcatechol is usually added as a stabilizer and an inhibitor of polymerization to butadiene, styrene and other reactive monomer streams. It is 25 times higher than hydroquinone at 60 deg C for polymerization inhibitory effect. It is used as a polymerization inhibitor in processing Styrene, Butadiene, and Vinyl Acetate monomers, Polyester resins. Also used as a stabilizer in the manufacture of polyurethane foam. Because of the sterically hindered group, tert-butylphenolic compounds have an antioxidizing action and also act as UV stabilisers. It also can be used as antioxidants for synthetic rubber, polymers and oil derivatives, it can be used as purification agent for aminoformate catalysts. TBC is available in a form of a solid crystal and 85% solution in methanol or water. 4-tert-Butylcatechol inhibits the activity of tyrosinase at concentrations higher than 1×10(−3)M.
