The selection of an appropriate UV absorber is a critical decision for formulators across various industries, including plastics, coatings, and cosmetics. The effectiveness and longevity of a product often depend on its ability to resist UV degradation. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. offers a comprehensive range of UV absorbers and provides guidance to help clients make informed choices that align with their specific application needs and performance goals. We are committed to helping our partners purchase the most suitable materials.

Understanding the target UV wavelength range is the first step in selecting the right UV absorber. Our product, 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (UV Absorber BP-3 or UV-9), excels in absorbing UV radiation between 290-400 nm. This broad-spectrum capability makes it highly versatile for applications requiring protection against both UVB and the longer UVA rays. For formulators focusing on applications where transparency and color stability are key, its minimal absorption of visible light is a significant advantage, ensuring the aesthetic integrity of light-colored transparent products.

When considering UV protection for plastics, formulators must also think about compatibility with the polymer matrix and processing conditions. 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone demonstrates excellent compatibility with common polymers like PVC, polystyrene, polyurethane, and acrylic resins. Its high thermal stability, remaining undecomposed below 200°C, ensures it can withstand typical processing temperatures without degrading, thus maintaining its protective function. This makes it a reliable UV stabilizer for plastics used in outdoor applications or those exposed to high temperatures.

For the paints and coatings industry, a UV absorber needs to not only protect the binder but also maintain the vibrancy of pigments. Our UV absorber BP-3 is an effective UV stabilizer for paint, preventing premature fading and chalking, thereby extending the life and appearance of the coating. Formulators often look for a high-efficiency UV absorber that can be used at low concentrations, and 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone meets this need, offering potent protection with typical dosages of 0.1-0.5%.

In the cosmetic sector, safety and efficacy are paramount. 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone serves as a valuable cosmetic UV filter, contributing to the broad-spectrum protection offered by sunscreens and other skincare products. Its ability to absorb harmful UV radiation helps protect the skin from sunburn and aging. Brands looking to buy cosmetic ingredients that offer proven protection and stability will find this compound to be an excellent choice.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. is dedicated to providing formulators with the resources and materials they need to succeed. By understanding the specific requirements of your application, whether it’s protecting transparent plastics, enhancing paint durability, or ensuring robust sun protection in cosmetics, our team can help you select the optimal UV absorber.
