4,4’-DiHydroxybenzophenone(DHBP)
| Chemical Name | 4,4’-DiHydroxybenzophenone |
| Applications | 4,4′-Dihydroxybenzophenone is an important chemical intermediate with a variety of applications, primarily in the following areas: UV Absorber This is its most important and widespread use. It effectively absorbs ultraviolet light in the 290-400 nm wavelength range and converts it into harmless heat energy. Therefore, it is often added to polymer materials as a light stabilizer to prevent aging, yellowing, or degradation caused by UV exposure. Application fields: Coatings, paints, varnishes, plastic products (such as PVC, polyolefins), adhesives, synthetic fibers, etc. Pharmaceutical Intermediate It serves as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of various drugs. It is used to produce cholesterol-lowering medications, such as Fenofibrate, a commonly used lipid-regulating drug. It is also employed in synthesizing molecular structures of certain bactericides, insecticides, and other pharmaceuticals. Organic Synthesis Intermediate Due to its high reactivity, it can be used to synthesize various more complex organic compounds, particularly as a "backbone" for constructing larger molecular structures. Other Applications Polymer Monomer: It can be used to synthesize certain specialty polymers or functional materials. Metal Ion Chelator: The oxygen atoms in its structure can coordinate with metal ions, making it useful for extracting or separating metals. |
