1,4-di-tert-butylbenzene (DTBB) is used as a crystallized form from several organic solvents to study the effect of solvents and crystallization conditions on its habit. It is also used as a solvent and an intermediate in the manufacture of other organic compounds for the finished products of such as curing agents, engineering plastics and cross-linking agents.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
