Product Description
4-Aminobenzoic Acid, also known as PABA, is an aromatic compound featuring both amine and carboxylic acid functional groups. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and sunscreen agents. PABA was historically used in UV protection formulations due to its ability to absorb ultraviolet light, though its primary modern applications lie in the production of folic acid derivatives and specialty chemicals. Its versatility makes it valuable in both research and industrial chemical synthesis.
