PHOTOINITITAOR 160 (CAS:71868-15-0)

Description

CAS No.: [71868-15-0] 2-hydroxy-1-{4-[4-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoyl)phenoxy]phenyl}-2-methylpropan-1-one

Lotcure 160 is a new photoinitiator characterised by excellent reactivity especially in Comparison with conventional alpha hydroxy ketones. Its molecule was suited to shift the absorption spectrum to longer wavelength and to work perfectly with pigmented systems using conventional UV equipments. It shows a good performance with clear coatings too. It is suitable for all systems where low VOC, low odor, low migration and low extraction values are needed.

It is suggested for the following main applications: 

• clear lacquers for wood, plastic, paper, metal, optical fibres 

• printing inks ( screen, offset, flexo, ink‐jet, etc …) 

• food packaging 

• cigarette packaging

Optimum concentration is between 1 and 5% by weight and depends on system composition , thickness , and desired cure speed .
