BHT is primarily used in the following ways:
- Food Industry: It is widely used as an antioxidant in food products to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils, thereby extending the shelf life of food. It can effectively inhibit the formation of peroxides and free radicals, which are responsible for the rancidity and spoilage of fats and oils. BHT is commonly added to products such as edible oils, fried foods, baked goods, and snack foods. For example, in potato chips, BHT helps to prevent the oil in the chips from becoming rancid, maintaining the flavor and quality of the product. In addition, it can also be used in food packaging materials to provide additional protection against oxidation.
- Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: BHT is used in some cosmetics and personal care products, such as lipsticks, creams, and lotions, to prevent the oxidation of fatty ingredients. This helps to maintain the stability and quality of the products, preventing them from developing an unpleasant odor or changing color due to oxidation. It also helps to protect the effectiveness of active ingredients in these products by preventing their degradation.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: In the pharmaceutical industry, BHT is used as an antioxidant in some drug formulations to protect the active ingredients from oxidation. This is particularly important for drugs that are sensitive to oxygen, as oxidation can lead to a loss of potency or the formation of harmful by - products. BHT can be added to the formulation of tablets, capsules, and liquid medications to improve their stability and shelf life.
- Rubber and Plastic Industry: BHT is used in the rubber and plastic industry to prevent the degradation of polymers caused by oxidation. It can improve the heat resistance and aging resistance of rubber and plastic products, prolonging their service life. In rubber products, such as tires and seals, BHT helps to prevent the rubber from cracking and hardening due to exposure to air and heat. In plastic products, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, it helps to maintain the mechanical properties and appearance of the plastic over time.
- Petroleum Products: BHT is added to petroleum - based products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and lubricating oils, to prevent oxidation and the formation of gums and sediments. In gasoline, it helps to improve the storage stability and prevent the formation of deposits in the engine, which can affect the performance and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. In lubricating oils, it helps to maintain the oil's viscosity and prevent the formation of sludge, which can cause engine wear and reduce the effectiveness of the lubrican
