Principles of using photoinitiators
1. The photoinitiator is used in conjunction with the amine accelerator EDAB.
 
2. Small smell, non-toxic, no environmental pollution.
 
3. It is cheap and easy to obtain, with low cost.
 
4. Choose a photoinitiator with appropriate activity according to the type of prepolymer and monomer.
 
5. It has good solubility and reactivity, low dosage and high initiation efficiency.
 
6. It must have a certain degree of thermal stability, it will not decompose below 85℃, and it should have long-term storage stability.
 
7. It is best to use several photoinitiators in combination, which can initiate curing in different wavelength ranges, which is faster than a single photoinitiator.
 
The above content is the overview, mechanism of action, performance requirements, common types, characteristics and principles of use of photoinitiators shared by the editor. Photoinitiator is one of the indispensable components of free radical ultraviolet light curing reaction system. Its type and amount have a great influence on the light curing behavior of the system, and play a decisive role in the sensitivity of the light curing system.
