Used primarily as a UV absorber in various polymer formulations to protect against degradation caused by ultraviolet light. Commonly applied in plastics, coatings, and adhesives to enhance durability and longevity when exposed to sunlight. It helps prevent discoloration, cracking, and loss of mechanical properties in materials such as PVC, polyolefins, and polyesters. Additionally, it finds use in personal care products like sunscreens, where it acts as a filter to shield skin from harmful UV radiation. Its compatibility with a wide range of materials makes it a versatile additive in industries requiring UV stabilization.
