Tinosorb® A2B

INCI: Tris-Biphenyl Triazine [nano] (and) Aqua (and) Decyl Glucoside (and) Disodium Phosphate (and) Butylene Glycol (and) Xanthan Gum

• Tinosorb® A2B is a 47,0 – 53,0 % dispersion of Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (nano) in formulants.
• Aqueous dispersion of 1,3,5-Triazine, 2,4,6-tris([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)- and Alkylpolyglucoside and Disodium Phosphate and Butylene Glycol and Xanthan Gum
• Viscous dispersion, White to distinctly beige.
• Tinosorb® A2B is the highest performing UVB filter and belongs to the BASF ́s unique “particulate organic UV absorber” technology. The microfine dispersion shows the strongest contribution to SPF and thanks to its second absorbance maximum in the UVA2 range, bridging the “UVA2 gap” it also provides strong protection against UVA. Its absorbance properties and excellent photo-stability makes from Tinosorb® A2B the ideal filter for formulating high SPF sunscreen products that fulfil the Cosmetics Europe requirements for UVA Protection (UVA- PF ≥1/3).
• Moreover, Tinosorb® A2B boosts the performance of all oil soluble UV filters thanks to its scattering properties related to its particulate form.
• It is compatible with all commonly used UV Filters and cosmetic raw materials. Tinosorb® A2B can be used in a wide range of emulsifier systems and is suitable for cold manufacturing/post emulsification. As a water-
  dispersible filter it increases formulation flexibility especially for high SPF formulations.
• Due to its high tolerance to different pH-values Tinosorb® A2B can also be used in self tanning products or formulations containing alpha hydroxy acids.
• Storage temperature: Between 5 °C and + 40 °C
• 10% approval as active, 10% Tinosorb® A2B active = 20% Tinosorb® A2B
• Used in EU & Switzerland, Brazil, Japan, Australia, Korea, ASEAN (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Viet Nam etc)
