Butylated Hydroxytoluene

Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a white to light yellow crystalline solid with a faint, characteristic phenolic odor; it has a melting point of approximately 69–71 °C and low volatility at ambient conditions. It is a synthetic aromatic organic compound classified as a hindered phenol antioxidant. BHT is primarily used as a stabilizer to inhibit oxidative degradation in a wide range of industrial materials. Its principal applications include stabilization of polymers (e.g., polyolefins, styrenics), lubricants, fuels, and food-grade packaging materials. It is also employed in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed as an antioxidant additive.
