A method for preparing a phenolic oligomer antioxidant with a very small residual content of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is provided. Specifically, the method for preparing the phenolic oligomer antioxidant relates to a method which is capable of a BHT-free phenolic oligomer antioxidant or a phenolic oligomer antioxidant containing a trace amount of residual BHT by removing the precursor of BHT as much as possible by performing the concentration under the reduced pressure while injecting an inert gas to an intermediate product and/or removing BHT by performing the concentration under the reduced pressure while injecting an inert gas to the final product.

Preparing method of a phenolic oligomer antioxidant

Provided are novel thio compounds and a method for preparing the same. More particularly, there is provided a novel thio compound prepared by reacting an alkylation product of p-cresol and dicyclopentadiene with mercaptan and paraformaldehyde. Unlike existing antioxidants such as 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) being harmful to the human body due to the high volatility, the novel thio compounds of the present invention, which have the low volatility because of their high molecular weight, give no harm to the human body. Further, with excellent performances, they are suitable to replace the existing antioxidants.

Thio compounds and preparing method of the same

Disclosed are a novel anti-oxidant for rubber and a synthetic rubber including the same. The disclosed anti-oxidant contains a thio compound. The rubber including the anti-oxidant has excellent thermostability at a temperature of 100&#xb0; C. or higher, and the anti-oxidant shows a low volatility due to its high molecular weight thus being applicable to manufacture environment-friendly rubber.
