Chemical Structure:
Sodium Benzotriazolyl Butylphenol Sulfonate Application:
I. Cosmetic Industry Applications
1. UV Absorber for Formulation Protection
Effectively absorbs ultraviolet rays, protecting light-sensitive cosmetic ingredients such as pigments, fragrances, and antioxidants from UV-induced degradation.
Prevents product discoloration, deterioration, and loss of efficacy, ensuring long-lasting product quality.
Used in water-based sunscreens, where it dissolves directly in the aqueous phase without the need for emulsification. This results in a light, non-greasy texture—ideal for summer use or for formulations targeting oily skin types.
Enhances overall SPF and PA ratings while lowering the required amount of physical sunscreens, helping to reduce whitening or heavy finish on the skin.
2. Light Stabilizer for Product Integrity
Absorbs harmful UV rays and converts them into harmless thermal energy, preventing light-induced breakdown of cosmetic formulations.
Extends the shelf life of products, particularly important for cosmetics packaged in transparent containers or products exposed to frequent light during use.
II. Applications in Other Industries
1. Dyeing Industry – Dispersant and Dyeing Enhancer
Improves dye dispersion and ensures uniform dyeing results.
Its structure, containing both phenolic hydroxyl groups and sodium sulfonate groups, provides a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, allowing it to act as a surfactant-type dispersant.
Adsorbs on the surface of dye particles, preventing agglomeration through electrostatic repulsion and ensuring stable dispersion in the dye bath.
2. Polymer and Plastics Industry – UV Protection Additive
Incorporated into synthetic materials such as polyolefins and PVC to extend their outdoor durability and service life. Helps prevent material brittleness, discoloration, and degradation under prolonged UV exposure.
3. Coatings Industry – UV Stabilizer in Paints
Widely used in water-based paints and coatings to prevent fading, chalking, and surface deterioration caused by UV exposure.
Preserves color integrity and surface quality, maintaining the visual appeal and functional performance of coated objects.
III. Functional Advantages Across Industries
Water solubility – Compatible with water-based systems, allowing wide application in cosmetics, coatings, and water-soluble plastics.
Broad-spectrum UV absorption – Provides effective protection across a wide UV range.
Chemical stability – Ensures long-term effectiveness without significant degradation.
Multi-functional benefits – Offers not only UV protection but also dyeing enhancement, curing promotion, and improved product longevity.
