Q1: What is Sarasorb EHT (Octyltriazone) and what is its INCI name?
A1: Sarasorb EHT is a triazine-based UVB filter (CAS 88122-99-0, C48H66N6O6, mol. wt. 823.07). Its INCI name is Ethylhexyltriazone, also known as Octyltriazone. It appears as a white to light yellow powder with purity by HPLC of NLT 99% and a melting point of 128–132°C.
Q2: How effective is Sarasorb EHT in improving SPF in sunscreen formulations?
A2: Clinical studies show that even low concentrations of Sarasorb EHT in a sun care preparation can significantly boost the final product's SPF, making it a highly cost-efficient UVB filter compared to other commonly used options.
Q3: What distinguishes Sarasorb EHT from other UVB filters like Sarasorb OMC?
A3: Unlike the liquid OMC, Sarasorb EHT is a solid powder that offers very high photostability and superior UVB absorption capacity. It is also noted for high cosmetic compatibility and doesn't degrade under UV exposure the way some older filters do.
Q4: On which global regulatory inventories is Sarasorb EHT listed?
A4: It is listed on the EC Inventory, China IECSC, and Korea KECL, but is not listed on US TSCA, EINECS, Canadian DSL, or Japan ENCS — buyers should check jurisdiction-specific cosmetic ingredient approvals.
Q5: Is Sarasorb EHT manufactured and exported by Sarex?
A5: Yes, Sarex manufactures Sarasorb EHT in India and, as a leading fine chemical manufacturer and exporter, supplies it internationally in 25 kg corrugated boxes to personal care producers in 40+ countries.
