Tinosorb M – A High-Performance UV Absorbent for Advanced Industrial Use

In industries where UV stability is non-negotiable, Tinosorb M offers a smart and effective solution. This white to light yellow crystalline powder is engineered to protect materials and products from the long-term impact of ultraviolet radiation.

What Makes Tinosorb M Stand Out?

- Chemical Identity  

 - CAS No.: 103597-45-1  

 - Molecular Formula: C41H50N6O2  

 - Molecular Weight: 658.87 g/mol  

 - Synonyms include 2,2'-Methylenebis(6-(benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-tert-octylphenol)

- Product Name: Ultraviolet Absorbent UV-360

Its structure, rich in benzotriazole moieties and sterically hindered phenol groups, gives it powerful UV-absorbing properties, making it a preferred choice in durable industrial formulations.

Industrial and Technical Applications

1. UV Stabilizer in Plastics and Resins  

Tinosorb M protects polymers used in outdoor settings—such as automotive parts, building materials, and coatings—from becoming brittle or discolored due to UV exposure.

2. UV Filter in Sunscreens  

The cosmetics industry relies on Tinosorb M for its dual UVA/UVB filtering capacity. It's particularly valued for its low systemic absorption and minimal skin reactivity, contributing to safer and more effective skincare products.

3. Role in Organic Photonics  

Tinosorb M plays a vital role in enhancing the performance of photo-luminescent dyes for organic electronic applications. Its stability under UV radiation helps preserve optical properties in these advanced systems.

Why It Matters

In today’s material-intensive industries, from cosmetics to electronics, safeguarding performance against UV degradation is essential. Tinosorb M not only meets but often exceeds expectations across these varied sectors.
