Evonik iso-Octyl Chloride plays a crucial role as a building block in the synthesis of the highly active broad-spectrum UV absorber Bemotrizinol. This oil-soluble UVB and UVA absorber is a valuable additive in sunscreens, effectively absorbing UV rays. Its outstanding photostability ensures minimal photodegradation and decomposition over extended UV absorption periods, making it an ideal choice for sunscreens aimed at protecting young skin, in particular.
