Photoinitiators
Ultraviolet curing technology (UV technology) is to add a UV photoinitiator (or photosensitizer) to a specially formulated system (called a photocuring system) to generate active free radicals or cations after absorbing ultraviolet rays (UV), thereby initiating polymerization, Cross-linking and grafting reactions, making it from liquid to solid technology. Photoinitiator for UV curing technology is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option because there is no need to remove water at the end of the printing or coating process, and there is no need to capture or incinerate solvents. UV curing materials are widely used in optical fiber cables (UV curing optical fiber coating materials), printed circuit boards (UV curing photoresists), home appliances (plastic coatings, metal coatings), automotive parts (transparent varnishes, repair paints, reflector lampshades etc.), printing packaging (UV curing inks), wooden furniture and flooring (UV curing coatings). ...
