UV-326 CAS#3896-11-5
UV-326 is an ultraviolet absorber presented as a light yellow crystalline powder with a melting point of 137–141°C. It is soluble in solvents such as styrene, benzene, and toluene, and effectively absorbs ultraviolet radiation in the 270–380 nm range. The product features low volatility and excellent compatibility with resins, and is widely used in polyolefins, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), unsaturated polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, epoxy resins, ABS resins, cellulose resins, as well as natural and synthetic rubber.
UV absorbers are additives designed to block or reduce the transmission of ultraviolet light. An effective UV absorber should exhibit good thermal stability, maintaining performance during high-temperature processing; low volatility; strong UV absorption, particularly in the 290–400 nm range; excellent chemical stability without reacting with formulation components; and good miscibility with target materials.

UV-326 CAS#3896-11-5
UV-326 is a benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorber, chemically known as 2'-(2'-hydroxy-3'-tert-butyl-5'-methylphenyl)-5-chlorobenzotriazole. It effectively absorbs ultraviolet radiation in the 280–370 nm range.
The product features good stability, low toxicity, and no irritation to the human body. It is widely used in coatings, synthetic rubber, synthetic fibers, and photosensitive materials. It significantly improves the lightfastness of these materials and helps reduce yellowing and aging caused by ultraviolet exposure from sunlight.
