2-(2'-Methacryloxy-5'-methylphenyl)benzotriazole

2-(2'-Methacryloxy-5'-methylphenyl)benzotriazole (MMA-BZT) is a UV-absorbing methacrylate monomer that provides excellent photostability, UV protection, and optical clarity in polymer systems. The benzotriazole functional group absorbs UV radiation, preventing photodegradation and discoloration in coatings, plastics, and adhesives. Its methacrylate functionality allows for copolymerization into UV-resistant coatings, films, and resins without leaching over time.

Applications:
UV-Resistant Coatings: Provides long-term photostability in automotive, industrial, and outdoor protective coatings.
Plastics & Polymers: Enhances UV resistance in optical materials, lenses, and films to prevent yellowing.
Adhesives & Sealants: Improves durability and UV protection in polymerized adhesives for outdoor applications.
3D Printing Resins: Ensures optical clarity and resistance to photodegradation in UV-cured resins.
Photopolymer Formulations: Acts as a UV stabilizer in high-performance polymer blends.
