1. 🧴 Personal Care and Sunscreen Products

Core Use: Widely used as a chemical sunscreen agent in cosmetics such as sunscreens, day creams, BB creams, and lipsticks.

Função: Absorbs UV-B ultraviolet radiation, preventing sunburn and photoaging of the skin.

Market Position: Due to its high efficiency and pleasant feel, it is one of the most widely used UV absorbers globally and has historically held a significant market share.

2. 🏭 Industrial Material Additives

Application Areas: Used as an anti-aging agent and UV absorber in plastics (such as PVC, ABS, etc.) and inks.

Função: Protects polymer materials from UV degradation, preventing discoloration and embrittlement, thereby extending the lifespan of the products.

3. ⚗️ Scientific Research

Environmental Chemistry: Used as a model compound to study the persistence, ecological impact, and biodegradation of UV absorbers in personal care products in aquatic environments.

Materials Science: Studied for its incorporation into polymers to improve the photostability of materials, or as a model molecule for photophysical research.

4. 💡 Other Potential Areas

Research suggests its potential application as a functional material in optoelectronic devices (such as photovoltaic cells).
