A method for the crystallization of n-hexyl 2-(4-N,N-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoate comprising the steps
- a) providing a clear melt of n-hexyl 2-(4-N,N-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzoyl)-benzoate at a temperature above 57° C., and
- b) crystallizing out n-hexyl 2-(4-N,N-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoate at a temperature below 57° C.,
- wherein the clear melt from process step a) is stirred at a temperature below 57° C. until opacity arises, before process step b) is carried out.
A method for the production of pourable or flowable particles of crystalline n-hexyl 2-(4-N,N-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoate having an average particle diameter of from 10 μm to 22 cm comprising the steps
- a′) providing a clear melt of n-hexyl 2-(4-N,N-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzoyl)-benzoate at a temperature above 57° C.,
- b′) stirring the melt from process step a′) at a temperature below 57° C. until opacity arises,
- c′) transferring the opaque melt to a mold,
- d′) crystallizing out the transferred melt of n-hexyl 2-(4-N,N-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoate at a temperature below 57° C. in the mold,
- e′) removing the crystallized-out n-hexyl 2-(4-N,N-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoate from the mold and optionally
- f) comminuting the crystalline n-hexyl 2-(4-N,N-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoate from process step e′) to the desired particle size.
A pourable or flowable particle of crystalline n-hexyl 2-(4-N,N-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoate with an average particle diameter of from 0.1 to 5 mm, a bulk density greater than 0.35 g/ml and a purity of at least 98% by weight.
The pourable or flowable particle wherein the purity is at least 99% by weight.
