Widely used in sunscreen and cosmetic formulations to protect the skin from UV radiation, especially UVB and short UVA rays. It helps prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage by absorbing harmful ultraviolet light. Also added to plastics, coatings, and adhesives to enhance their resistance to sunlight, reducing degradation and extending the lifespan of materials exposed to outdoor conditions. Commonly found in transparent packaging, automotive parts, and textiles where UV stability is required. Its effectiveness, low volatility, and compatibility with various polymers and emulsions make it a preferred choice in both personal care and industrial applications.
