What Is Benzophenone-4?

Benzophenone-4 (sulisobenzone), CAS 4065-45-6, is a water-soluble UV absorber. It protects the colour and fragrance of clear shampoos, bath products and other water-based products from light, and is a UV filter in personal care where permitted.

The specification sets HPLC purity ≥99%, specific extinction E285 460–490 and E325 285–315, pH 1.2–2.2, water turbidity ≤4 EBC, and limits on loss on drying, heavy metals and Gardner colour.

The powder is strongly acidic in solution and is neutralized in the formula; it can discolour with some metal salts. It is not regulated as dangerous goods; use eye and skin protection. Cosmetic use levels and labelling follow the rules of the destination market.

As a benzophenone-4 supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs the off-white to light yellow powder in 25 kg drums.
