Uses
Di-tert-butylmethylphenol (DBMP) is an antioxidant that
prevents the deterioration of fats, oils, waxes, resins, and
plastic films. It is incorporated into many edible vegetable or
animal fats and oils, into baked and fried foods, and into
waxes or plastic films used for coating food wrappers or
containers. It acts as an anti-skidding agent when added to
paints and inks, and its antioxidant qualities allow it to be
used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
