Indroduction

UV-531, also known as benzophenone-12, is a chemical compound used as a UV stabilizer and absorber in various products, especially in plastics, coatings, and other materials that are susceptible to degradation from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV stabilizers like UV-531 help extend the lifespan and durability of products exposed to sunlight or UV radiation by preventing or minimizing the adverse effects of UV-induced degradation. UV-531 functions by absorbing UV radiation and converting it into harmless heat energy. This helps to protect the underlying material from degradation, such as color fading, loss of mechanical properties, and overall deterioration. It is commonly used in industries like plastics manufacturing, automotive, construction, and packaging to enhance the UV resistance of products.
