General Description

2,6-bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]-4-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)phenol is a chemical compound commonly known as BHT-DMAB. It is a synthetic antioxidant and a derivative of the widely used antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). BHT-DMAB is often used in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics to prevent the oxidation and spoilage of products. It works by inhibiting the formation of free radicals, which can cause degradation and breakdown of the products it is used in. Additionally, BHT-DMAB also has anti-microbial properties, making it an effective preservative in many different applications. While it has been considered safe for use in small quantities, excessive consumption or exposure to BHT-DMAB has been linked to potential adverse health effects, and its use is regulated in some countries.
