2-Benzotriazole-2-yl-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol functions as a hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS). It acts as a radical scavenger, inhibiting the degradation of polymers caused by UV radiation. 2-Benzotriazole-2-yl-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol′s mechanism of action involves the interception of free radicals generated by the photodegradation of polymers, thereby preventing chain scission and discoloration. This HALS compound forms stable free radicals that can effectively terminate the degradation process, leading to improved durability and longevity of the polymer material. By hindering the photodegradation process, 2-Benzotriazole-2-yl-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol contributes to the preservation of the mechanical and optical properties of polymers, making it a component in the development of UV-resistant materials for various industrial applications.
