What is the significance of benzothiazole in chemical study?

Label:chem

Topic
Benzothiazole and its derivatives (BTHs) are heterocyclic aromatic compounds with widespread industrial applications, including as vulcanization accelerators and UV stabilizers. However, they are also emerging contaminants due to their potential environmental and human health risks.
Answer
Benzothiazole is used in a study as a model contaminant to evaluate the effectiveness of Akypo® and Akypo:C12OH formulations in removing pollutants from textiles. The study demonstrates that the Akypo:C12OH formulation can remove up to 59% ± 0.3% of benzothiazole from cotton fabric after a single wash cycle, highlighting its potential for environmental remediation and sustainable textile processing.
