PRODUCT OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION
Dibenzoylmethane is a PVC heat stabilizer known for its transparency, non-toxicity, and odorless nature. When combined with calcium/zinc or barium/zinc stabilizers, it enhances the initial color, transparency, and long-term stability of PVC, while preventing issues like precipitation and "zinc burning." Additionally, it acts as a UV absorber, providing long-term stabilization for PVC products. Beyond its use in PVC, dibenzoylmethane has shown anti-tumor properties, inhibiting tumor growth in mice. It is a beta-diketone found in licorice root extract, known for its antimutagenic and anticancer effects, making it relevant in both industrial and biomedical applications.
