  2. Butylated hydroxytoluene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butylated_hydroxytoluene

    BHT is used as a preservative ingredient in some foods. With this usage BHT maintains freshness or prevents spoilage; it may be used to decrease the rate at which the texture, color, or flavor of food changes. [25] Some food companies have voluntarily eliminated BHT from their products or have announced that they were going to phase it out. [26]

  3. Toluene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toluene

    Toluene is widely used in the paint, dye, rubber, chemical, glue, printing, and pharmaceutical industries as a solvent. [38] Nail polish, paintbrush cleaners, and stain removers may contain toluene. Manufacturing of explosives (TNT) uses it as well. Toluene is also found in cigarette smoke and car exhaust.

  4. Alkylbenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkylbenzene

    Synthetic sulfonates are the most widely used detergents, as industrial oil, emulsifiers, demulsifiers, rust inhibitors, dispersants, surfactants for enhanced oil recovery, ore-floatation agents, and wetting agents, among others. LABs such as alkylbenzene, dialkylbenzene, and alkyltoluene are most commonly used to prepare sulfonate detergents. [4]

  5. Polymerisation inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymerisation_inhibitor

    The term 'inhibitor' is often used in a general sense to describe any compound used to prevent unwanted polymerisation, however these compounds are often divided into 'retarders' and 'true inhibitors'. A true inhibitor has a well defined induction period during which no noticeable polymerisation takes place. They are consumed during this period ...

  6. tert-Butylhydroquinone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Butylhydroquinone

    The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [3] have evaluated TBHQ and determined that it is safe to consume at the concentration allowed in foods. [4] The FDA [5] and European Union [4] both set an upper limit of 0.02% (200mg/kg) of the oil or fat content in foods. At very high doses, it ...

  7. 4-tert-Butylcatechol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-tert-Butylcatechol

    It is added as a stabilizer and polymerisation inhibitor to butadiene, styrene, [5] vinyl acetate, divinylbenzene [6] and other reactive monomer streams. [7] TBC is also used as a stabilizer in the manufacture of polyurethane foam. [8] It also can be used as an antioxidant for synthetic rubber, polymers and oil derivatives. [7]

  8. Chain transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_transfer

    In polymer chemistry, chain transfer is a polymerization reaction by which the activity of a growing polymer chain is transferred to another molecule: [1] [2] + + where • is the active center, P is the initial polymer chain, X is the end group, and R is the substituent to which the active center is transferred.

  9. Trifluorotoluene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifluorotoluene

    A second and perhaps more valuable use of trifluorotoluene is as a synthetic intermediate. A derivative of trifluorotoluene, 3-aminobenzotrifluoride, is the precursor to the herbicide fluometuron. [3] It is synthesized via nitration followed by reduction to meta-H 2 NC 6 H 4 CF 3. This aniline is then converted to the urea.
