What is 2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-5-(hexyloxy)phenol and what is it used for?
2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-5-(hexyloxy)phenol (CAS 147315-50-2, formula C27H27N3O2) is a hydroxyphenyl-triazine (HPT) UV absorber for polycarbonate, PET, and high-heat engineering plastics. The triazine chromophore absorbs ultraviolet light strongly and withstands high processing temperatures, so it protects clarity and color where older absorbers would break down. RawSource supplies this HPT absorber in bulk against your grade and volume.
- ▸ High-temperature UV protection (Polycarbonate, engineering plastics)
- ▸ Clarity and color retention outdoors (PET, polyester)
- ▸ Strong, durable UV screening (High-solids and durable coatings)
A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.

RawSource supplies this HPT absorber in bulk against your grade and volume.
Hydroxyphenyl-triazine absorbers give higher ultraviolet absorption and better thermal stability than benzophenone and first-generation benzotriazole grades, which is why they are used in demanding engineering plastics and high-solids coatings. This HPT absorber is a solid grade suited to polycarbonate and polyester at high melt temperature.
Applications
Polycarbonate and engineering plastics
In polycarbonate and other high-heat engineering resins, this HPT absorber provides strong ultraviolet protection with the thermal stability the melt demands, holding clarity and color in glazing, sheet, and molded parts.
PET and polyester
In PET and polyester, the absorber screens ultraviolet light through hot processing without breaking down, protecting film and molded parts that see the sun.
High-solids and durable coatings
In high-solids and high-durability coatings, the triazine chromophore delivers strong, long-lasting ultraviolet absorption in the film.
Host polymers and typical use
The absorber is dispersed into the polymer or coating during compounding or formulation, where it absorbs ultraviolet light before it can break polymer chains, fade pigments, or dull the surface. The systems below are where it is most often specified.
Typical use levels for polymer UV absorbers fall in the 0.1 to 1.0 percent range, set by part thickness, expected outdoor exposure, and the co-stabilizer package (commonly a hindered-amine light stabilizer). Confirm loading on the bench and the exact specification on the Certificate of Analysis for each lot.
Handling and regulatory status
2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-5-(hexyloxy)phenol is an industrial UV absorber for engineering plastics and coatings. It is a hydroxyphenyl-triazine with low aquatic toxicity and is not on the EU REACH Candidate List; follow the Safety Data Sheet for the exact classification and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydroxyphenyl-triazine UV absorber?
A hydroxyphenyl-triazine, or HPT, absorber uses a triazine chromophore to absorb ultraviolet light. Compared with benzophenone and older benzotriazole grades, HPT absorbers give higher absorption and better thermal stability, which suits them to high-heat engineering plastics and high-solids coatings.
What polymers is this HPT absorber used in?
This HPT absorber is used in polycarbonate, PET and other polyester, high-heat engineering plastics, and durable coatings. It is chosen where a UV absorber must survive high processing temperatures and deliver strong ultraviolet screening, and it is commonly combined with a hindered-amine light stabilizer.
Where can I buy bulk hydroxyphenyl-triazine UV absorber?
RawSource supplies this HPT absorber in bulk to coatings, plastics, and polymer-compounding buyers in bag, drum, and larger quantities sized to your run. Because several qualified producers make it to a common identity, supply is competitive and available on demand. Send your grade, volume, and destination for a current bulk quote; a CoA and SDS ship with every lot.
Is this UV absorber a restricted substance?
No. This grade is not the benzotriazole 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-di-tert-pentylphenol (CAS 25973-55-1), which was listed under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2023, and it is not one of the benzotriazoles on the EU REACH Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern. It is an industrial additive for polymers and coatings and is not sold for food, drug, or cosmetic use unless a grade is specified for it. Always follow the Safety Data Sheet for handling and disposal.
