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. Derived from syringic acid chemistry, it functions by absorbing UV radiation and quenching free radicals.

This chemical protects substrates from photodegradation. Buyers source it primarily as a multifunctional stabilizer where both UV protection and oxidative stability are required in a single ingredient for high-performance applications.

In suncare and skincare formulations, it provides broad UV absorption and is often combined with other organic filters to boost SPF performance and photostability. It is a versatile choice for modern cosmetic chemistry.

Polymer and plastics compounders incorporate it to extend the service life of materials exposed to outdoor weathering. This is particularly important where color retention and mechanical integrity are top priorities for the manufacturer.

Coating and adhesive formulators use it to prevent UV-induced yellowing and surface degradation in clear and pigmented systems. Its oil solubility makes it directly compatible with solvent-based and emollient-rich matrices.

The ingredient integrates easily without requiring additional solubilization steps. Bis-ethylhexyl hydroxydimethoxy benzylmalonate is typically supplied as a liquid or low-viscosity oil for ease of handling in production.

It is available in cosmetic-grade specifications suitable for personal care applications, as well as technical-grade material for industrial end uses. Standard packaging includes drums and intermediate bulk containers.

Smaller quantities are available for formulation development and pilot testing. This ensures that manufacturers can validate the performance of the stabilizer before moving to full-scale commercial production runs.
