6PPD is an antioxidant and antiozonant that helps prevent the degradation and cracking of rubber compounds caused by exposure to oxygen, ozone and temperature fluctuation. Rubber tires are fortified with protectants, such as N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)- N' -phenyl-p-phenylenediamine or simply 6PPD. 2c00050.
