Tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) isocyanurate is a chemical compound used as a polymer stabilizer in plastics.
Like other hindered phenols it acts as a primary antioxidant.
It is formed by the Mannich reaction of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, cyanuric acid, and formaldehyde.
Tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) isocyanurate is a high molecular weight additive, with low volatility.
It is well suited to stabilising polyolefins against degradation caused by long term heat aging.
