UV-P Benzotriazole UV Absorber Supplier
SUNSORB®P (UV-P) is a benzotriazole UV absorber that strongly absorbs UV light between 300 y 400 Nuevo Méjico. It protects clear and light-colored PS, CLORURO DE POLIVINILO, PMMA, polyester and other plastics against yellowing.
CAS 2440-22-4 · Benzotriazole · UV absorber
Descripción general del producto
UV-P (2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-ilo)-p-cresol) is a widely used benzotriazole UV absorber with low color. It is used in styrenics, CLORURO DE POLIVINILO, acrylics, poliéster, policarbonato, coatings and adhesives. Its relatively low molecular weight (225.2) suits thicker parts more than thin films processed at high temperature.
Typical specification. Every shipment is supplied with a batch COA; the limits that apply to your order are confirmed in the quotation and contract.
Key Benefits
Low color
Suits clear and light-colored products.
Broad compatibility
PS, CLORURO DE POLIVINILO, PMMA, MASCOTA, ordenador personal, coatings and adhesives.

Technical & Buying Information
UV Absorber UV-P Buyer Guide
Define the exposure
Indoor light behind glass, outdoor temperate climate and desert or tropical exposure need very different packages. Note the target service life and the weathering test you use (xenon or QUV, horas, ΔE or gloss retention).
Match absorber to process and thickness
A UV absorber works by filtering, so it needs enough path length: thick parts need less, thin films and fibers need more and need a low-volatility grade. Check the absorber survives your processing temperature.
Combine with a HALS
For outdoor use the standard approach is UV absorber plus HALS. Send your current package and pigment system and we suggest a starting combination for the trial.
Check regulations before you buy
Some benzotriazoles are restricted in the EU and other markets. Tell us the destination and end use, and we confirm the REACH and food-contact position of the grade before you order.

View product →UV Absorber UV-P FAQ
Is UV-P suitable for thin films?
Its low molecular weight makes it volatile at high processing temperatures. For thin films and fibers, higher-MW grades such as 234 o 360 are usually better.
What dosage is typical?
0.1–0.5% depending on thickness and exposure, often with a HALS for outdoor use.
Does UV-P color the product?
It has low inherent color and is used in clear products.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Sí. Tell us the polymer, the test you plan to run and the quantity you need. Samples ship with a COA so you can compare the lot against your current material.
What if a COA does not match our agreed specification?
Send us the agreed specification and the COA showing the difference (parameter, unit and test method). We check it with the production batch record before you accept the material, and replace or re-test where the lot is out of specification.
