Functions:
Thylhexyl Triazone, also known as Octyl Triazone, is a commonly used organic UV filter in cosmetics and sunscreens. This colorless to pale yellow oil is added to personal care products due to its effective UVB and UVA protection properties. Ethylhexyl Triazone helps prevent sunburn and photoaging by absorbing and dissipating harmful UV rays. It is considered safe for use and is often utilized in combination with other sunscreen ingredients to provide broad-spectrum protection. Its lightweight texture and compatibility with various formulations make it a popular choice in sun protection products. The chemical formula of Ethylhexyl Triazone is C48H66N6O6.
UV absorber UVT150 is a triazinone UV absorber with excellent waterproof effect and light stability.
1. It has good photostability and its properties will not change even under strong light radiation
conditions.
2. It has good affinity with skin keratin, so it has excellent waterproof effect in sun care products.
3. It can absorb 270-340nm of ultraviolet light, with a peak absorption value of 314nm,
which has the advantage of high absorption rate and low additive quantity.
4. Suitable for plastics, coatings, inks, sunscreens and other applications, the usual dosage is 0.1-0.5%.
In addition, UVT150 also has the characteristics of good compatibility, low volatility, good dispersion,
low migration, good thermal stability, etc. The product is difficult to dissolve in water,
but has a good affinity with the skin's keratin, and performs well in sun care products.
Origin
Ethylhexyl Triazone, synthesized from ethylhexylmethoxycinnamate and 4,4'-bis(diethylamino)benzophenone-3,3'-disulfonic acid, undergoes a condensation process to create the compound. This is followed by purification.
