Used primarily as a UV absorber in various polymer systems to protect against degradation caused by ultraviolet light. It is effective in stabilizing plastics, coatings, and adhesives, enhancing their durability and longevity when exposed to sunlight. Commonly incorporated into products like automotive coatings, packaging materials, and outdoor furniture to prevent discoloration, cracking, and loss of mechanical properties. Its compatibility with a wide range of polymers makes it a versatile additive in industries requiring UV protection. Additionally, it is used in cosmetics and personal care products as a UV filter to protect skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
