Applications

Benzophenone is widely utilized in research focused on

  • UV Protection: Commonly used in sunscreens and cosmetic products, it helps absorb harmful UV radiation, protecting the skin from damage.
  • Photoinitiators: In the manufacturing of polymers and coatings, it acts as a photoinitiator, enabling the curing process when exposed to UV light, which is crucial for creating durable products.
  • Flavor and Fragrance Industry: Employed as a fragrance ingredient, it enhances the scent profile of various consumer products, including perfumes and household cleaners.
  • Analytical Chemistry: Used as a standard in UV-Vis spectroscopy, it assists researchers in calibrating instruments and ensuring accurate measurements in various chemical analyses.
  • Food Packaging: Incorporated into certain food packaging materials, it helps prevent the degradation of food products by blocking UV light, thereby extending shelf life.
