Widely used in sunscreen and cosmetic products due to its ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) light, helping protect skin from sun damage. It acts as a photostabilizer, preventing degradation of other ingredients when exposed to sunlight. Also employed in plastics and packaging materials to extend product life by reducing UV-induced breakdown. Common in adhesives, inks, and coatings where it serves as a photoinitiator in curing processes using UV light. Used in some fragrances to enhance scent longevity. Due to its low volatility and stability, it is also found in household products like detergents and air fresheners. Additionally, it serves as a key intermediate in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals.
