:

Tetramethylbenzophenone; 96%

Description:
Tetramethylbenzophenone, with the CAS number 3478-88-4, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes two benzophenone moieties substituted with four methyl groups. This compound typically appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is known for its role as a photoinitiator in polymer chemistry, particularly in UV-curable coatings and inks. It exhibits good solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various formulations. The presence of multiple methyl groups enhances its stability and alters its photophysical properties, allowing it to absorb UV light effectively. Tetramethylbenzophenone is also recognized for its potential applications in the production of specialty chemicals and as a UV filter in cosmetic products. However, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use and storage.
