UV Absorber 326 has a wide range of indirect food approvals in polyolefins.
It has a low volatility at high temperatures and high resistance to thermal degradation and can therefore be used without significant loss or decomposition in the polyolefin compounding and molding processes. In the use for the UV protection of polyester resins, TINUVIN 326 does not form colored complexes with the metallic salts used for the curing process of these resins.
UV-326 can potentially be used as a UV light filter in cosmetics and sunscreens.
It may also be used as a corrosion inhibitor for the protection of building materials and automobiles.
