Synthesis and characterization of a new U.V. absorber for low density polyethylene

Abstract EN

A new photostabiliser, U.V.

absorber 2, 4 – bis (4-ethylbenzoyl) resorcinol was prepared and characterized by different techniques such as spectroscopic method, elemental analysis, and moleculer weight determination.

The absorber was examined for low-density polyethylene and compared with commercial U.V.

absorber (Seesorb-100).

The new photostabiliser, U.V.

absorber showed higher ability to absorb U.V.

light and more efficient for photostabilisation for low-density polyethylene, i.e, the optical properties were improved by using this photostabiliser.
