N-Isopropyl-N’-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine CAS 101-72-4

What is N-Isopropyl-N’-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine CAS 101-72-4?

N-Isopropyl-N’-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine CAS 101-72-4 (commonly known as IPPD) is produced industrially and incorporated into rubber compounds (e.g. tires, hoses, belts) to protect them from oxidative and ozone-induced degradation; rather than being a final product, it functions as an additive that significantly extends the service life and durability of rubber materials under environmental stress.

Specification

Feature

• Antioxidant protection: Provides effective protection against oxidation, helping prevent degradation of rubber polymer chains over time.
• Antiozonant action: Helps guard rubber against ozone-induced cracking or embrittlement, preserving elasticity and integrity under exposure to ozone.
• Flex-crack resistance: Enhances rubber resistance to flexing-induced cracking, thereby improving longevity under repeated mechanical stress.
• Copper/manganese protection: Helps prevent degradation or discoloration caused by metal contamination (e.g. copper or manganese) in rubber compounds, improving stability and reliability.

Application

• Tire manufacturing: Widely used in tires to provide antioxidant and antiozonant protection, contributing to durability, safety, and longer tread life under varying environmental conditions.
• General rubber goods: Employed in a broad range of rubber products including hoses, belts, gaskets, seals, and other elastomeric components requiring long-term resilience against oxidation, ozone, and mechanical fatigue.
• Automotive rubber parts: Used in automotive rubber components (e.g. engine mounts, bushings, vibration dampers) where material must resist environmental stress, ozone, and flexing over extended service periods.
• Industrial rubber items: Applied in industrial applications such as conveyor belts, hoses, cable sheathing, and other heavy-duty rubber goods where ozone and oxidation resistance are critical for safety and longevity.
