Cas No.: 1843-05-6

Also known as 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, UV-531, it is a pale yellow solid that is often incorporated into various cosmetic and personal care products to protect the skin from harmful UV rays, stable under recommended storage conditions. Lisorb BP-12 is a UV absorber/screener. It is used to protect polymers (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylchloride) against damage by UV light. Octabenzone functions by absorbing UVB and short UVA rays, thus preventing them from penetrating the skin and causing damage such as sunburn or premature aging. Its photostability and compatibility with other sunscreen agents make it a popular choice in sunscreen formulations. Additionally, Octabenzone has been investigated for its potential applications in polymer chemistry and as a stabilizer in plastics and polymers.
