Product Overview
Octocrylene (CAS 6197-30-4), also known as 2-Ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate, is a high-efficiency oil-soluble UV-B absorber. It appears as a clear, pale yellow viscous liquid with a mild characteristic odor. Featuring excellent light/thermal stability, strong UV absorption, and outstanding compatibility, it serves as a key ingredient in sunscreen cosmetics, polymer materials, and coatings. Our product is produced via advanced esterification and purification processes, with high purity, low impurities, and stable batch quality. For cosmetic formulation, industrial material protection, and scientific research only.
Product Features
- High UV Absorption: Strongly absorbs UV-B (280–320 nm) with a peak at 303 nm; partially absorbs UV-A, providing broad-spectrum protection.
- Excellent Solubility: Oil-soluble, miscible with most organic solvents and cosmetic oils; effectively dissolves other solid sunscreen agents.
- Superior Stability: High photostability and thermal stability; stabilizes other UV filters (e.g., Avobenzone) to enhance SPF.
- Good Compatibility: Compatible with various cosmetic raw materials and polymer substrates; easy to formulate.
- Strict Quality Control: Tested by HPLC, UV absorbance, and impurity analysis; standard COA provided.
- Safety Compliance: Approved by FDA (Class I sunscreen) and EU SCCS; non-toxic, non-irritating.
