Overview

Benzophenone-3 (also known as Oxybenzone) is a highly effective, oil-soluble organic UV filter. It is a "broadband" filter, meaning it provides protection across both UVB and short-wave UVA (UVA-II) spectra. Due to its excellent stability and compatibility, it is often used as a benchmark stabilizer in both cosmetic and industrial applications. 1.

Industrial & Commercial ApplicationsA. Sun Care & Personal CareSecondary UV Filter: Typically used at concentrations of 2% to 6% to boost the SPF of primary filters like Octyl Methoxycinnamate.Photostabilizer: It is highly photostable and is frequently added to formulations specifically to protect other active ingredients and fragrances from sunlight-induced degradation. Color Cosmetics: Used in nail polishes (up to 1%), lipsticks, and foundations to maintain product color and prevent fading in transparent packaging. B. Plastics & PolymersLight Stabilizer: Incorporated into plastics like PVC, ABS, and polyesters to prevent yellowing, brittleness, and loss of physical properties caused by UV exposure. Transparent Packaging: Ideal for protecting the contents of clear plastic bottles or films from UV light. C. Coatings & InksPaints & Varnishes: Used in clear wood coatings and outdoor paints to shield the substrate and the binder from solar radiation.Photo-initiator: Can act as a photo-initiator in UV-curable ink systems to speed up the drying process
