In the realm of UV-curable coatings and inks, achieving efficient curing, especially within pigmented formulations, presents a unique challenge. Pigments, while essential for color and opacity, can significantly interfere with UV light penetration, often leading to incomplete surface or through-cure. This is where advanced photoinitiators like Difunctional Alpha Hydroxy Ketone, or Photoinitiator 160 (CAS 71868-15-0), play a critical role. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we understand the importance of this specialized chemical for formulators aiming to optimize their pigmented UV systems.

Photoinitiator 160 is a Type I photoinitiator, renowned for its ability to generate free radicals efficiently upon exposure to UV radiation. Its molecular structure is specifically designed to exhibit enhanced absorption characteristics, particularly in the longer wavelength regions of the UV spectrum. This property is a game-changer for pigmented systems, as it allows the photoinitiator to absorb energy more effectively even when the UV light is partially blocked or scattered by pigment particles. This translates to better depth of cure and improved surface properties, ensuring that the coating or ink layer cures thoroughly and uniformly.

For procurement managers and product developers, sourcing Photoinitiator 160 from a reputable supplier is crucial. Our commitment as a manufacturer in China is to provide a high-purity product (≥99.0%) that guarantees consistent performance. This reliability is vital for maintaining product quality and reproducibility in large-scale production. Furthermore, Photoinitiator 160's benefits extend beyond its curing efficiency; its low VOC and low migration properties make it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious and safety-critical applications, such as food packaging inks and coatings for consumer products. We offer competitive pricing for this essential chemical, making it an accessible solution for businesses looking to enhance their UV-curable formulations.

The versatility of Photoinitiator 160 means it is an indispensable ingredient in a wide range of applications. This includes high-performance varnishes for wood, plastics, and metals, where excellent adhesion and durability are required. In the printing industry, it enables fast curing speeds, allowing for efficient production of vibrant and long-lasting graphics. Whether you are developing advanced printing inks or specialized industrial coatings, Photoinitiator 160 offers the performance enhancements needed to succeed. We invite you to buy Photoinitiator 160 from us and experience the difference that quality and expertise make in your UV curing processes.
