2-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-6-dodecyl-4-methylphenol
2-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-6-dodecyl-4-methylphenol (CAS: 125304-04-3, C25H35N3O, MW: 393.56) is a low-volatile liquid benzotriazole UV absorber and stabilizer. It excels at imparting outstanding light stability and protection efficiency to various substrates without causing yellowness. Its chemical structure provides effective absorption of ultraviolet radiation, making it suitable for demanding material science and polymer applications.

UV Light Absorption
Acts as a highly effective UV absorber, specifically designed to protect materials from degradation caused by ultraviolet radiation. Its chemical nature allows for efficient dissipation of absorbed UV energy as heat.
Polymer Stabilization
Provides excellent light stability to polymers, preventing yellowing, chalking, and loss of mechanical properties upon exposure to sunlight. It is ideal for clear or lightly coloured polymer formulations.
Material Protection
Enhances the longevity and performance of materials exposed to outdoor conditions or intense light sources. Its low volatility ensures long-term protection within the material matrix.
