1. This product is a high-efficiency UV absorber capable of effectively absorbing ultraviolet light in the 270–380 nm wavelength range.
2. It is odorless, heat-resistant, and possesses excellent thermal stability.
3. It does not yellow under alkaline conditions and is oil-resistant.
4. It exhibits negligible absorption of visible light, making it particularly suitable for colorless, transparent, and light-colored products.
5. It is primarily used in polyolefins (especially food-grade products), PVC, polyamide, ABS resin, AS resin, and polyurethane.
