Widely used as a reactive diluent and chain terminator in the production of polycarbonates and epoxy resins. Enhances the thermal and oxidative stability of polymers due to its sterically hindered phenolic structure. Commonly employed in high-performance coatings, adhesives, and composite materials where improved weather resistance and mechanical strength are required. Also utilized in the synthesis of specialty polymers for electronics and aerospace applications due to its ability to impart rigidity and heat resistance. Shows utility in antioxidant formulations for industrial polymers, protecting against degradation under high-temperature processing conditions.
