Tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphate is an organophosphorus compound commonly used as an antioxidant and stabilizer in polymers and plastics. Its primary function is to protect materials from oxidative degradation, which can occur during processing or through exposure to heat and light. The bulky tert-butyl groups in its structure provide steric hindrance, enhancing its effectiveness in preventing the breakdown of polymer chains. This compound is particularly valued in the production of polyolefins, rubber, and other synthetic materials, contributing to the durability and longevity of these products.
