What is  Octabenzone (C21H26O3)? Octabenzone UV-531 CAS 1843-05-6 is an organic compound. Buy Octabenzone, a chemical substance classified as an organic benzophenone derivative. In its solid form, it appears as a yellow to light brown powder with a slight aromatic odor. It is typically used in formulations where UV protection is necessary. The compound is a stable, light-absorbing molecule, and it functions primarily as an ultraviolet (UV) filter in various applications. It is soluble in organic solvents but relatively insoluble in water, which makes it useful in products such as sunscreens, cosmetics, and industrial coatings.

Octabenzone was first synthesized in the mid-20th century as part of the research into developing UV-blocking agents. Its introduction to the market was aimed at enhancing the stability and lifespan of products exposed to sunlight, particularly in outdoor applications. This compound is widely used in cosmetic and personal care products, especially sunscreens, due to its ability to absorb and filter out harmful UV rays. It is also used in plastics, coatings, and textiles to prevent degradation caused by UV radiation. The compound does not occur naturally,  and is synthesized through chemical reactions involving benzophenone derivatives. As a synthetic compound, it is manufactured in controlled environments through established chemical processes.

Specification of Octabenzone UV-531 CAS 1843-05-6

Octabenzone  UV-531 Usage：

It is mainly used as light stabilizer for polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane rubber and other synthetic materials.

Octabenzone, like many UV filters, is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic formulations when used in regulated concentrations. However, excessive exposure or misuse could potentially lead to skin irritation or allergic reactions. The compound has been under investigation for its potential endocrine-disrupting properties, as certain studies have raised concerns about its ability to affect hormone systems. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of octabenzone might result in skin sensitivities such as redness, itching, or burning sensations. While octabenzone itself is not classified as a carcinogen, its potential to act as an endocrine disruptor warrants caution, particularly in long-term or repeated use scenarios. More studies are required to fully understand its long-term effects on human health.

Octabenzone  UV-531 Packaging and Shipping：

25kg/ drum，25kg/bag or as per buyer requirement.

Octabenzone  UV-531 Storage：

Store in a ventilated low-temperature dry warehouse; Store separately with oxidants, acids and alkali.

Octabenzone should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. It is sensitive to light and heat, so storage away from direct sunlight and high temperatures is essential to preserve its chemical integrity. The ideal temperature range for storage is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). It should be kept in tightly sealed containers to prevent moisture contamination and exposure to air. In industrial settings, precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation of dust or vapors during handling. Proper storage and handling conditions are crucial to maintain the stability and efficacy of the compound, particularly in cosmetic and industrial applications.
