Application

2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane serves as an eco-friendly alternative to Antimony Tri-oxide (Sb2O3) and is widely utilized as a flame retardant synergist, particularly for polypropylene and polystyrene applications, including expandable polystyrene (EPS). Additionally, it plays a role in the decomposition of Dicumylperoxide (DCP) and acts as a reactive plasticizer in the initiation of Diallyl orthophthalate (DAOP), thereby enhancing the processing of polyphenylene oxide (PPO). The product typically appears as white to light yellow flakes or crystalline powder.
