This chemical is primarily used as an ultraviolet (UV) light stabilizer in various polymer materials. It is effective in protecting plastics, coatings, and adhesives from UV-induced degradation, which can cause discoloration, loss of mechanical properties, and surface cracking. It is commonly incorporated into automotive coatings, outdoor furniture, and packaging materials to enhance their durability and longevity under sunlight exposure. Additionally, it is used in agricultural films to extend their service life by preventing UV damage. Its compatibility with a wide range of polymers makes it a versatile additive in the plastics and coatings industry.
