The printing industry's move towards UV curing technology has revolutionized ink formulations, offering faster drying times, improved durability, and enhanced print quality. Central to this revolution is the selection of appropriate photoinitiators, and our Difunctional alpha hydroxy ketone (CAS 71868-15-0) has proven to be an exceptional choice for UV printing inks. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier in China, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides this high-purity chemical (≥99%) to meet the demanding requirements of the modern printing sector.

Why Photoinitiator 71868-15-0 is Ideal for UV Printing Inks

Our Difunctional alpha hydroxy ketone is a Type I photoinitiator that plays a crucial role in the rapid polymerization of ink binders when exposed to UV light. Its unique chemical structure provides several key benefits specifically tailored for printing ink applications:

  • Fast Curing Speed: The high reactivity of this photoinitiator ensures rapid ink setting, allowing for higher printing speeds and increased throughput on presses. This is essential for efficient production in the printing industry.
  • Excellent Reactivity with Pigments: Printing inks often contain high concentrations of pigments, which can absorb or scatter UV light, hindering the curing process. Our Difunctional alpha hydroxy ketone is specifically formulated to overcome these challenges, providing excellent through-cure even in heavily pigmented formulations, ensuring vibrant and consistent print colors.
  • Low Migration and Low Odor: For food packaging, labels, and other sensitive applications, low migration of ink components and low odor are critical safety and quality considerations. Our photoinitiator’s properties help formulators achieve these compliance requirements, offering peace of mind to both manufacturers and end-users.
  • Good Compatibility: It demonstrates excellent compatibility with a wide range of monomers, oligomers, and other additives commonly used in UV printing ink formulations.
