China and India are the leading exporters of 2,2',4,4'-Tetrahydroxybenzophenone (CAS 131-55-5), collectively accounting for over 70% of global export value in 2023–2024, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importing markets. Import volumes into the EU and North America have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest upward pressure on 2,2',4,4'-Tetrahydroxybenzophenone prices reflecting tightening supply from key Asian producers.
2,2',4,4'-Tetrahydroxybenzophenone is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, typically odorless, with a melting point in the range of 230–235 °C and low volatility. It is an aromatic organic compound classified as a polyphenolic benzophenone derivative. Primarily used as a chemical intermediate, it serves in the synthesis of high-performance polymers—including polyarylates and polyetherketones—and UV-stabilized coatings and plastics. Its applications are concentrated in specialty polymer manufacturing, functional coatings, and as a precursor in select photostabilizer systems.
