Application

UV BP-6 is insoluble in water but soluble in toluene, methanol, ethanol, etc. UV BP-6 can absorb 320-400nm ultraviolet light, but hardly any visible light, making it suitable for light colored or transparent products. It has high absorption efficiency, is stable to light and heat, and is widely used in polyester, PVC, Epoxy resin, high-quality cosmetics, paints and varnishes

BP-6 can absorb ultraviolet light in the 320-400 nanometer wavelength range, and has the characteristics of good compatibility, long persistence, good thermal stability, and high absorption efficiency. These characteristics make BP-6 widely used in the fields of plastics, coatings, sunscreens, etc. It can improve the light resistance of polyester window films, inhibit the oxidative degradation of plastics and coatings, and improve the durability of dyed fabrics, while inhibiting the oxidative fading of fiber fabrics In addition, BP-6 also has the characteristics of light color, non toxicity, good compatibility, low migration, and easy processing, which has the greatest protective effect on polymers, helping to reduce color changes, delay yellowing, and block physical property loss. These characteristics make BP-6 an ideal anti-aging agent, widely used in various plastics, coatings, UV curable inks, dyes, detergents, and textiles, effectively improving product stability and durability.
