It is a non-staining and non-discoloring anti-oxidant
for dry rubber and latex compounds.
It acts as a stabilizer in polymers in combination with other phosphite

SP particularly finds use in white and colored
rubber. The rubber articles that use Styrenated phenol are Hawaii
Sheets and Straps, Rubber tubing, Conveyor belt covers and latex
dipped products (such as industrial gloves, surgical gloves, feeding
bottle teat). Other products such as balloons, hot water bottles,
injection bottle caps, rubber rollers and Footwear related items
(such as Micro cellular sheets, Resin rubber sling, Canvas upper
