1,2,3-Benzotriazole (BTA) is an organic compound commonly used as an UV stabilizer and corrosion inhibitor. It is highly effective in protecting metals, polymers, and coatings from UV degradation and corrosion. In personal care products, it is used as a UV filter in sunscreens to prevent skin damage from UV radiation. BTA is also used in the automotive, industrial, and electronics industries to protect metal surfaces from corrosion.
