  • Applications

    Tocopherols (CAS 1406-66-2) are widely used as antioxidants and stabilizers across multiple industries: as additives in cosmetics and personal care products (creams, facial oils, cleansers) to prevent oxidative degradation and extend shelf life; as antioxidants in food and edible oils to slow lipid oxidation; as stabilizers in polymers and plastics to improve oxidative stability and product longevity; in coatings and inks to protect coatings and printed materials from oxidation during storage; and as a vitamin E supplement in animal feed to support nutrition for livestock.
