  • Publication number: 20110089384
    Abstract: The present invention relates to highly compatible hydroxyphenyltriazine UV-absorbers and to their use in organic polymers, especially for protecting the contents of transparent plastic packages such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care products, shampoos and the like, and especially foodstuffs such as beverages, fresh vegetables or meat, from the deleterious effects of ultraviolet radiation. Especially advantageous is the combined use of a UV absorber and an oxygen scavenger. It has been found that certain highly compatible tris-aryl-s-triazines are especially effective towards this end when incorporated in the containers or films in which such materials are stored.
