Bis-ethylhexyl hydroxydimethoxy benzylmalonate

Bis-ethylhexyl hydroxydimethoxy benzylmalonate (CAS 872182-46-2) is an oil-soluble UV absorber and antioxidant used in personal care and industrial formulations.

Where is Bis-ethylhexyl hydroxydimethoxy benzylmalonate used?

• Suncare and skincare: broad UV absorption, often combined with other organic filters to boost SPF performance and photostability
• Polymer and plastics: extends service life of materials exposed to outdoor weathering
• Coatings and adhesives: prevents UV-induced yellowing and surface degradation in clear and pigmented systems
• It functions by absorbing UV radiation and quenching free radicals.

Good to know: Derived from syringic acid chemistry. Oil solubility makes it directly compatible with solvent-based and emollient-rich matrices.

Commercial specifications

• Standard packaging: drums and intermediate bulk containers
• Smaller quantities for formulation development and pilot testing
