Summary:

A new photostabilizer, U.V. absorber 2, 4 – bis (4-ethyl benzoyl) resorcinol was prepared and characterized by different techniques such as spectroscopic method, elemental analysis, and molecular weight determination. The absorber was examined for low-density polyethylene and compared with commercial U.V. absorber (Seesorb-100). The new photostabilizer, U.V. absorber showed a higher ability to absorb U.V. light and more efficient for photostabilisation for low-density polyethylene, i.e, the optical properties were improved by using this photostabilizer.
