Understanding the fundamental chemical properties of a compound is key to unlocking its full potential in various industrial applications. 2,2-Diethoxyacetophenone (DEAP), with its CAS number 6175-45-7, is a prime example of a versatile organic intermediate whose chemical makeup dictates its utility, particularly as a photoinitiator. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD provides this important chemical to industries worldwide.

DEAP is characterized by its molecular formula C12H16O3 and a molecular weight of approximately 208.25. Its physical form is typically described as a light yellow liquid, a characteristic that aids in its visual assessment during formulation. The compound's structure, featuring an acetophenone core with diethyl acetal substitution, is optimized for absorbing UV light in the range of 230-260nm, making it highly effective in initiating photopolymerization reactions.

The primary application for DEAP lies within UV-curable systems. Its efficacy as a photoinitiator stems from its ability to rapidly generate free radicals upon exposure to UV radiation. These radicals then initiate the chain reaction polymerization of monomers and oligomers, leading to the rapid solidification or curing of the formulation. This makes it invaluable in coatings, adhesives, and inks.

When manufacturers consider to buy 2,2-Diethoxyacetophenone, they are looking for specific performance benefits. These include fast curing speeds, which enhance production efficiency, and good surface drying properties, which ensure a high-quality finish. Furthermore, its excellent compatibility with oligomers and reactive diluents allows for flexible formulation development, enabling the creation of tailored products for specific industrial needs.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD ensures that the DEAP we supply meets high purity standards, guaranteeing consistent performance for our clients. By leveraging the chemical properties of 2,2-Diethoxyacetophenone, industries can achieve superior results in their UV curing applications, from protecting wood surfaces to bonding critical components and creating vibrant printed materials.
