Description

Fenofibrate (CAS 49562-28-9) is a pharmaceutical-grade compound known under trade names including TriCor, Lipsin, and Lipidax, and referenced by codes LF-178 and LF 178. It carries no assigned E-code. Supplied as a crystalline powder, it is classified under pharmaceutical intermediates with HS code 29189900.

In coatings and polymer systems, fenofibrate functions as a UV absorber by intercepting ultraviolet radiation and dissipating it as heat, reducing photodegradation of the substrate. It also serves in flame-retardant formulations, where its chlorine-containing structure contributes to combustion interruption, and demonstrates antimicrobial activity applicable in preservation applications.

Fenofibrate is available in pharmaceutical-grade form compliant with Ph.Eur. standards and falls under REACH registration requirements for European supply. It is sourced for use across pharmaceutical manufacturing, coatings, adhesives, and polymer processing industries. Packaging formats are available on request to meet specific procurement volumes.
