54996-37-1 Usage
General Description
2-(p-Hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid is a chemical compound that consists of a benzene ring with two carboxylic acid groups and a hydroxybenzoyl group attached. It is commonly used as an ultraviolet (UV) absorber in sunscreen and other sun protection products because it provides protection against both UVA and UVB radiation. The hydroxybenzoyl group absorbs UV radiation and dissipates the energy as heat, protecting the skin from damage caused by sun exposure. 2-(p-Hydroxybenzoyl)benzoicacid is also used as a stabilizer in various polymers and plastics to prevent degradation from UV radiation. Additionally, it has potential applications in pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 54996-37-1 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 5,4,9,9 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 54996-37:
(7*5)+(6*4)+(5*9)+(4*9)+(3*6)+(2*3)+(1*7)=171
171 % 10 = 1
So 54996-37-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
