对-(叔-丁基)-隣苯二酚是很好的抗氧化剂,阻聚剂,同时也有杀虫剂的稳定剂的功能。我国不久卽进行大规模生产苯乙烯,在貯藏,运输或提纯此化合物过程中,往往因聚合作用产生大量的热,以至发生爆炸危险,但加入少量阻聚剂,可防止此种不幸事件的发生。这些阻聚剂中,以对苯二酚及对-(叔-丁基)-隣苯二酚较优;而在60℃时,后者的效能较前者约高二十 Para- (t-butyl) -catechol is a good antioxidant, inhibitor, and also has the function of a pesticide stabilizer. In the short run, large-scale production of styrene in our country will often produce a large amount of heat due to the polymerization during storage, transportation or purification of the compound, which may lead to the danger of explosion. However, the addition of a small amount of polymerization inhibitor can prevent the occurrence of such unfortunate event . Of these inhibitors, hydroquinone and p- (tert-butyl) -catechol are preferred, while at 60 ° C, the latter is about 20 times more potent than the former
