The sun is a powerful source of energy, but it can also be harmful to our skin and the products we use. UV radiation, which is part of the sun's energy, can damage materials, causing them to fade, crack, or break down. That's why UV absorbers are essential in many products, including plastics, coatings, and textiles. UV Absorber BP-6, also known as Light Stabilizer BP-6, is a popular choice for many manufacturers who want to protect their products from UV damage. In this article, we will explore the safety and application of UV Absorber BP-6, produced by Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd.
What is UV Absorber BP-6?
UV Absorber BP-6, or Benzophenone-6, is a light stabilizer that absorbs UV radiation in the range of 290-400 nm. It is a yellowish crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 350. It is also known as Bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)methanone, 2,2-Dihydroxy-4,4-dimethoxybenzophenone, or 4,4-Dimethoxy-2,2-dihydroxybenzophenone. It is soluble in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, acetone, and toluene, but insoluble in water.
UV Absorber BP-6 is widely used in many applications, including plastics, coatings, adhesives, and fibers. It is effective in protecting products from UV degradation, such as color change, brittleness, and loss of mechanical properties. It is also used as a photoinitiator in the polymerization of acrylic monomers.
