Description
- UV Protection and Stabilization: Benzophenone is a high-volume chemical utilized as a UV filter in plastics, adhesives, and coatings to protect materials from damage, fading, or degradation. It is also used as a perfume fixative and color protector in cosmetics, soaps, and laundry products.
- Photoinitiator in UV-Curing: It acts as a photoinitiator in inks and varnishes that are cured with UV light.
- Chemical Intermediate: It is used in the manufacturing of agricultural chemicals, insecticides, pharmaceuticals (such as hypnotics and antihistamines), and other organic compounds.
- Photoreactive Research Agent: Because BZP can form covalent bonds with C-H, N-H, and other structures when activated by UV light, it is used in biotechnology as a biotinylation reagent or to probe protein-membrane interactions (photo-crosslinking).
- Medicinal Chemistry Scaffold: Benzophenone derivatives are researched for potential therapeutic applications, including antiviral (anti-HIV), anti-inflammatory, and anti-Alzheimer's activities.
- Additive in Food Packaging: It is often used in inks for paperboard packaging, although this has raised concerns due to its ability to migrate through packaging into food.
