Used primarily as an ultraviolet (UV) absorber in various polymer systems, this compound provides excellent protection against UV-induced degradation. It is commonly incorporated into plastics, coatings, and adhesives to prevent yellowing, cracking, and loss of mechanical strength caused by prolonged sunlight exposure. Its effectiveness in both clear and pigmented formulations makes it suitable for use in automotive coatings, industrial finishes, and plastic films. Due to its good thermal stability and compatibility with a range of resins, it is also utilized in polyurethane, acrylic, and polyester-based systems. Additionally, it finds application in specialty sunscreens and cosmetic formulations where photostability is required, offering enhanced durability without compromising aesthetic properties.
