This chemical is primarily used as a UV stabilizer in various polymer systems to protect them from degradation caused by ultraviolet light exposure. It is commonly incorporated into plastics, coatings, and adhesives to enhance their durability and longevity when exposed to sunlight or other UV sources. The compound functions by absorbing UV radiation and dissipating it as harmless heat, thereby preventing the breakdown of polymer chains. It is particularly effective in applications such as automotive coatings, outdoor furniture, packaging materials, and construction products, where UV resistance is critical. Its compatibility with a wide range of polymers makes it a versatile additive for improving the performance of materials in outdoor or high-UV environments.
