T-80AS is a slightly yellowish powder that provides excellent UV protection and compatibility with other ingredients. As a non-nano particle with a silica sol coating and alkyl silane, T-80AS is well-suited for formulations where long-lasting UV protection is required. Its hydrophobic properties allow it to float on water for over an hour, making it an ideal active ingredient for products that need to withstand water exposure. T-80AS has been shown to be compatible with other common ingredients like avobenzone, and its low toxicity profile and stability over a wide pH range make it well-suited for use in personal care items.
