Uses:

This compound is used as an antioxidant in rubber processing and to provide oxidation and flex-cracking resistance in natural rubber, synthetic rubbers and latexes. It is used as a stabilizer in electrical-insulating silicone enamels and as an antioxidant in other polymers, greases, lubricating oils and transformer oils. This compound is an effective heat and light stabilizer, vulcanization accelerator, catalyst and polymerization inhibitor. It is used as a component of rocket fuels, surgical plasters and tin electroplating baths. This compound is used as a chemical intermediate and as an inhibitor for butadiene. It is also used in the production of seven dyes. Found in rubber products made of natural rubber, styrene-butadiene, nitrile, butadiene and chloroprene
