In the global chemical market, sourcing specialized monomers that offer advanced functionalities is key to innovation and competitive advantage. For industries requiring robust UV protection in their materials, 2-[3-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]ethyl Methacrylate (CAS 96478-09-0) stands out as a premier choice. As a prominent manufacturer and supplier of fine chemicals located in China, we provide this essential compound, enabling businesses worldwide to enhance their product performance.

This particular methacrylate monomer is highly sought after for its dual capabilities: it acts as a potent UV absorber and also possesses a reactive methacrylate group. The benzotriazole component is an exceptional UV absorber, efficiently capturing and dissipating ultraviolet radiation as heat, thereby preventing degradation of polymers, coatings, and other sensitive materials. Crucially, the methacrylate moiety allows it to be chemically integrated into polymer chains through copolymerization. This makes the UV protection permanent, eliminating concerns about leaching or migration – a common issue with additive-type UV stabilizers.

The scientific principles behind its effectiveness are well-established. The molecule employs an ultrafast Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) mechanism to neutralize UV energy. This rapid deactivation pathway is vital for preventing photo-induced chemical reactions that would otherwise damage the host material. Typically supplied as a crystalline powder with a melting point of 96-98°C, its chemical identity is defined by the formula C18H17N3O3 and a molecular weight of 323.35 g/mol.
