TBC is primarily utilized in the chemical industry as a crucial polymerization inhibitor and stabilizer. Its main application is stabilizing reactive monomers, such as butadiene, styrene, vinyl acetate, and various acrylates, during distillation and transportation. By scavenging free radicals, TBC prevents spontaneous polymerization. It is also employed as an antioxidant in lubricants, elastomers, and certain resins to protect materials from oxidative degradation. Its efficiency ensures high-quality end products and dramatically reduces costly downtime in manufacturing processes.
