(2,4,6-Tri-tert-butylphenyl)amine

(2,4,6-Tri-tert-butylphenyl)amine, also known as TTBPA, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C27H43N. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and benzene. TTBPA is widely used as a stabilizer in the production of polymers, particularly in the manufacturing of plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene. It helps to prevent the degradation of the polymer due to exposure to heat, light, and other environmental factors, which can cause discoloration and reduced mechanical strength. The chemical structure of TTBPA contains three tert-butyl groups attached to a central phenyl ring, which provides steric hindrance and makes it difficult for other molecules to interact with the amine group. This property makes it an effective antioxidant and radical scavenger, which further enhances its stability-enhancing properties. TTBPA
