Q1: What is Sarasorb TDSA and what type of UV filter is it?
A1: Sarasorb TDSA (CAS 92761-26-7, C28H34O8S2, mol. wt. 562.70) is an organic UVA filter added to sunscreen cosmetics to absorb UVA radiation. It's supplied as a pale yellow to yellow transparent liquid with a Lambda Max of 342.0–346.0 nm and an assay of 30.0–34.0% by HPLC.
Q2: What is unusual about the assay specification (30–34%) of Sarasorb TDSA?
A2: Unlike most UV filter ingredients which are supplied as high-purity solids (95%+), Sarasorb TDSA is supplied as a liquid solution with an active content of 30–34% by HPLC. This is normal for this ingredient class, as TDSA is typically handled and sold as an aqueous or dispersed solution.
Q3: How is Sarasorb TDSA packaged and what is its shelf life?
A3: It's packed in 25 kg HDPE drums and has a shorter shelf life of 2 years (compared to the usual 3 years for most Sarasorb products), which should be factored into inventory planning.
Q4: Is Sarasorb TDSA listed on major international chemical inventories?
A4: It is only listed on the EC Inventory. It is not currently on US TSCA, China IECSC, KECL, Canadian DSL, or Japan ENCS — sunscreen formulators targeting those markets must verify its regulatory status.
Q5: Does Sarex manufacture and export Sarasorb TDSA for use in personal care formulations internationally?
A5: Yes, Sarex is a leading fine chemical manufacturer and exporter in India and supplies Sarasorb TDSA to sunscreen and personal care manufacturers across its global customer base of 40+ countries.
