Application

O-Terphenyl serves primarily as a plasticizer for polystyrene, enhancing its properties for thermoplastic recording applications. Additionally, O-Terphenyl and its mixtures are utilized in various industrial capacities, acting as heat storage and transfer agents, textile dye carriers, and intermediates in the production of nonspreading lubricants. Historically, from 1960 to 1970, technical grade terphenyls played a crucial role as coolants in nuclear reactors. In more recent applications, they have found use in solar-heating systems, leveraging their heat-transfer qualities.
