Product Technical Details

Product Overview

Ethylhexyl triazone represents a cornerstone ingredient in modern sun-care chemistry, designed to provide robust protection against harmful UVB radiation. As a highly effective organic UV filter, this compound is engineered to absorb ultraviolet light within the critical 275 to 320 nanometer range. Its chemical structure ensures high specific extinction, making it an essential component for formulators aiming to achieve high Sun Protection Factor (SPF) values in cosmetic products. Our supply chain guarantees consistent quality suitable for global regulatory standards.

Industrial Applications

This material is primarily utilized in the development of advanced sun-care products, including lotions, creams, and sprays. Due to its exceptional affinity to keratin, it enhances the water-resistant properties of formulations, ensuring prolonged protection during swimming or sweating. It is commonly used in combination with other UV filters to broaden the protection spectrum and stabilize the overall formula. Concentrations up to five percent are typically recommended to maximize efficacy without compromising sensory properties.

Performance Features

  • Superior photostability even under intense irradiation conditions.
  • High solubility in polar oils when heated to seventy to eighty degrees Celsius.
  • Excellent compatibility with various emulsion systems.
  • Contributes significantly to water-resistant claims in final products.
  • Low volatility ensures lasting protection on the skin surface.

Quality And Storage

We maintain rigorous quality control protocols to ensure every batch meets strict purity standards. Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying assay, extinction value, and impurity levels. For optimal preservation, containers should remain tightly closed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Standard packaging includes twenty kilogram drums designed for safe international transport and handling.
