Eastmanâ„¢ DTBHQ (2,5-ditert-butylhydroquinone) is a crystalline solid that has low vapor pressure and short induction periods in peroxide-catalyzed polymerizations. Insoluble in water and caustic solutions, used as an antioxidant or co-inhibitor to prevent oxidation and extend shelf life in many industrial applications.
