For manufacturers in the coatings, inks, and adhesives industries, understanding the intricacies of UV curing is paramount. At the heart of this rapid and efficient curing process lies the photoinitiator. These essential chemical compounds absorb UV light and generate reactive species, initiating the polymerization process that transforms liquid formulations into solid, durable films. As a leading supplier of specialty chemicals, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. recognizes the significance of high-quality photoinitiators for achieving optimal results.

Photoinitiators are broadly classified into two types: Type I (cleavage) and Type II (hydrogen abstraction). Type I photoinitiators, like our Phenyl 2-(benzyloxy)-3-(dibenzylamino)-5-fluoro-6-methylbenzoate (CAS: 1253799-29-9), undergo fragmentation upon UV exposure to produce free radicals. These radicals then efficiently initiate the polymerization of monomers and oligomers, leading to rapid curing. This makes them particularly effective for opaque or pigmented systems, such as white coatings that contain titanium dioxide (TiO2).

The selection of an appropriate photoinitiator depends heavily on the specific application requirements. Factors such as the UV light source, the spectral absorption of the photoinitiator, the formulation’s composition (including pigments and monomers), and the desired curing speed and film properties all play a crucial role. For instance, if you are looking to buy a photoinitiator for white coatings, a Type I initiator with strong absorption in the longer UV wavelengths is often preferred. This ensures that the UV light penetrates the pigment and initiates curing throughout the coating thickness.

Our Phenyl 2-(benzyloxy)-3-(dibenzylamino)-5-fluoro-6-methylbenzoate is a prime example of a high-performance photoinitiator that meets these demanding criteria. Its excellent thermal stability and non-yellowing characteristics are invaluable for applications where color fidelity and long-term performance are critical.
