CAS 14779-78-3: Padimate

Description: Padimate, also known as octyl dimethyl para-aminobenzoic acid, is a chemical compound commonly used as a UV filter in sunscreen formulations. It is characterized by its ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation, particularly UVB rays, thereby providing protection against sunburn and skin damage. Padimate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, which makes it suitable for incorporation into various cosmetic and personal care products. The compound is known for its stability under sunlight, which is crucial for maintaining the efficacy of sunscreen products. Additionally, Padimate has been evaluated for its safety in cosmetic use, with regulatory bodies assessing its potential for skin irritation and sensitization. Overall, Padimate serves as an important ingredient in sun protection formulations, contributing to the effectiveness of products designed to shield the skin from harmful UV radiation.
