Benzophenone-1

Benzophenone-1, also known as Benzophenone, is an organic compound and it is this chemical element that is indispensable in many industries. In fact, its properties are highly valued and it can be found on the list of ingredients in many products that we use in everyday life. Benzophenone is an aromatic ketone and its main function is to absorb ultraviolet radiation, light stabilise the product and prevent staining. All these properties predetermine its wide range of applications.

Due to its UV-absorbing ability, benzophenone is included in many products that are exposed to the sun and need some form of protection from ultraviolet radiation. Benzophenone-1 is thus often used, for example, in cosmetic products such as sunscreens, various skin care creams and hair products. It is also included as an ingredient in some nail polishes, gels and other nail care products, as it helps protect the colour from fading. In industry, the chemical is used as an additive in materials such as plastics and rubbers, but it is also found in paints and inks. The chemical also finds application in the food industry, where it is used as an ingredient in food packaging, but also as an additive in beverages and foods to increase their shelf life.
