Q1: What is Sarasorb ETN (Etoneamine) and what is it used for?
A1: Sarasorb ETN (CAS 26218-04-2, C15H23NO2, mol. wt. 249.35) is the 2-ethylhexyl ester of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). It's a white powder with purity NLT 98% and serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of Ethylhexyl Triazone (Sarasorb EHT), which is used in sunscreen formulations as a UV filter.
Q2: Is Sarasorb ETN itself a UV filter or an intermediate?
A2: It is an intermediate — not a finished UV filter ingredient. It is the key precursor in the manufacture of Sarasorb EHT (Octyltriazone), which is the UV-active sunscreen ingredient that goes into final formulations.
Q3: What is the boiling point of Sarasorb ETN and what does that tell us about handling?
A3: It has a boiling point of 50–53°C, which indicates it transitions from solid to liquid at relatively low temperatures. This should be considered during storage, transportation, and handling to prevent unwanted phase changes.
Q4: What regulatory inventories list Sarasorb ETN?
A4: It is listed only on the EC Inventory and Japan ENCS. It is not listed on US TSCA, China IECSC, KECL, Canadian DSL, or EINECS — buyers should check regulatory status in their markets before procurement.
Q5: Does Sarex manufacture and export Sarasorb ETN for UV filter intermediate supply chains?
A5: Yes, Sarex is a leading fine chemical manufacturer and exporter in India, supplying Sarasorb ETN in 25 kg corrugated box pallets to UV filter manufacturers and sunscreen ingredient producers in more than 40 countries.
