Title of the Innovation: Avobenzone-Anti-UV Agents

Brief About Innovation

Avobenzone is an oil-soluble ingredient used in sunscreen products to absorb the full spectrum of UVA rays. Strong absorption of Ultraviolet A (320-400 nm, associated with long term skin damage) and Ultraviolet B (290-320 nm, causes sunburns). This light range is better than most other organic sunscreen technologies and marked as broad spectrum sunscreens. The major raw materials to be Utilized  4-Methoxyacetophenone, methyl 4-tert-butylbenzoate, NaNH2, Toluene.

Application/Uses
Avobenzone is a highly effective UV absorber and is used as light stabilizers in plastics and light screening agents in cosmetic industry.

Major Plant Equipment and Machinery Required: Batch reactor and other equipments for downstreaming

Status of Commercialization
Commercial plant of 1500 MT/year capacity planned by one of the industry.
