China and the United States are the leading exporters of 2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol (CAS 128-39-2), accounting for the largest shares of global shipments, while India, South Korea, and Germany represent the top importing markets. Imports by India and South Korea have shown steady growth since 2022, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on 2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol prices amid tightening supply from key Asian producers.
2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, with a mild phenolic odor and low volatility; it has a melting point of approximately 70–73 °C and decomposes before boiling. It is an aromatic organic compound classified as a sterically hindered phenol. Primarily used as a chemical intermediate, it serves in the synthesis of antioxidants—especially for lubricants and polymers—and as a precursor to specialty phenolic resins and UV stabilizers. Its main application areas include polymer stabilization (e.g., polyolefins), synthetic lubricant additives, and agrochemical intermediates.
