UV Absorber UV-9

Product Overview

UV Absorber UV-9, chemically known as 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, is a high-performance organic compound widely recognized for its exceptional ability to absorb ultraviolet radiation. With the CAS registry number 131-57-7, this substance serves as a critical functional additive in diverse industries ranging from personal care to industrial polymer manufacturing. Our premium grade material is synthesized under strict quality control protocols to ensure consistent molecular integrity and optimal performance in downstream formulations.

As a broad-spectrum ultraviolet absorber, UV-9 effectively mitigates the damaging effects of both UV-A and UV-B rays. This dual-action capability makes it an indispensable component for manufacturers seeking to enhance the longevity and safety of their products. Whether incorporated into sunscreen lotions to protect human skin or embedded within plastic matrices to prevent material degradation, UV-9 delivers reliable stability against photolytic stress.

Technical Specifications

Industrial Applications

The versatility of UV Absorber UV-9 allows for seamless integration into various commercial sectors. In the cosmetic industry, it is formulated into daily sunscreen products and skincare regimes to prevent photo-aging and skin damage caused by prolonged sun exposure. Its safety profile, characterized by non-toxicity and non-teratogenic effects, supports its use in personal care applications where consumer safety is paramount.

Beyond cosmetics, UV-9 is extensively utilized in the plastics and coatings industry. It provides superior weather resistance for polyolefin products, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyester, acrylic resins, and polystyrene. Particularly effective in light-colored and transparent furniture materials, it prevents yellowing and mechanical property loss due to UV exposure. The recommended dosage typically ranges from 0.1% to 0.5%, depending on the specific substrate and desired protection level.

Key Advantages

• High absorption efficiency across UV-A and UV-B wavelengths.
• Excellent compatibility with most common organic solvents and polymers.
• Superior thermal stability and light resistance during processing.
• Low toxicity profile suitable for sensitive applications.
• Minimal impact on the color and clarity of final products.

Packaging and Storage

To maintain product integrity, UV Absorber UV-9 is packed in cardboard drums lined with plastic bags, with a standard net weight of 25kg per drum. The compound exhibits good storage stability under proper conditions. It is classified as non-dangerous goods for transportation. However, users should avoid exposure to high temperatures and humidity during storage and transit. We recommend storing the material in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse to prevent moisture absorption and heat accumulation. Proper handling ensures the material retains its specified physicochemical properties throughout its shelf life.
