1. Cosmetics: In the cosmetics industry, 2,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone is used as a UV absorber or sunscreen agent. It helps to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation by absorbing and dissipating the UV rays. The mechanism of action involves the absorption of UV light by the benzophenone moiety, preventing it from reaching the deeper layers of the skin.

2. Polymer Industry: This chemical is also utilized in the polymer industry as a photoinitiator or UV stabilizer. It helps to initiate or control the polymerization process in the presence of light. It can also prevent the degradation of polymers caused by UV radiation. The mechanism of action involves the absorption of UV light, which triggers the desired chemical reactions or prevents the degradation of the polymer.

3. Adhesive Industry: In the adhesive industry, 2,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone is used as a curing agent or crosslinking agent. It helps to improve the adhesion properties of adhesives and enhance their strength and durability. The mechanism of action involves the formation of chemical bonds between the adhesive molecules, resulting in a stronger and more stable bond.
