HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT HYDROXYPHENYLBENZOTRIAZOLE UV-ABSORBERS FOR THIN FILM APPLICATIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to highly compatible, high molecular weight hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole UV-absorbers and for their use in protecting plan ts in green houses and the protection of foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceuticals , cosmetics, personal care products, shampoos and the like from the deleteriou s effects of ultraviolet radiation. It has been found that certain highly compatible, high molecular weight hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole UV-absorbers ar e especially effective towards this end when incorporated in the containers or films in which such materials are stored.
