Used primarily as a UV absorber in polymer systems, this compound provides protection against ultraviolet radiation-induced degradation. It is effective in plastics, coatings, and adhesives where long-term exposure to sunlight can cause yellowing, cracking, or loss of mechanical strength. Its molecular structure allows for strong absorption in the UV range, particularly between 300–400 nm, making it suitable for outdoor applications. It is also utilized in clear coatings and transparent films due to its ability to prevent UV damage without affecting optical clarity. Additionally, it shows compatibility with various resin systems and enhances the durability of automotive finishes, construction materials, and packaging films.
