The Science Behind UV Polymerization: The Role of 1,1'-Biphenyl,2,2',4,4'-tetrafluoro-
At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are passionate about the chemistry that drives innovation. Today, we focus on the fundamental science behind UV polymerization and highlight the critical function of 1,1'-Biphenyl,2,2',4,4'-tetrafluoro-, a key photoinitiator with CAS number 6965-45-3.
UV polymerization is a photochemical process where ultraviolet light is used to initiate a rapid chain reaction, leading to the hardening or curing of monomers and oligomers. This process relies heavily on photoinitiators – molecules that absorb UV photons and subsequently generate reactive species, such as free radicals or cations, which then start the polymerization chain. 1,1'-Biphenyl,2,2',4,4'-tetrafluoro- is a prime example of a free-radical photoinitiator, particularly valued for its efficiency in initiating UV polymerization of unsaturated prepolymer systems.
The molecular structure of 1,1'-Biphenyl,2,2',4,4'-tetrafluoro-, represented by the chemical formula C12H6F4, is engineered to efficiently absorb UV light within specific wavelengths. Upon absorption, it undergoes a photochemical transformation, typically bond cleavage, to produce highly reactive free radicals. These radicals then attack the double bonds in monomers, starting the chain growth and crosslinking reactions that lead to the cured polymer network. This makes it an essential component in UV curing materials for printing and other demanding applications.
