Photoinitiator 819 has been tested and proven suitable for use in printing inks and pre-impregnation systems applied to surfaces such as wood, metal, plastics, paper, and optical fibers.
In white paints, colored paints, and inks containing titanium dioxide or other pigments—particularly those requiring high opacity—the addition of even a small amount of 819 imparts excellent curing efficiency and resistance to UV-induced yellowing. Furthermore, thanks to its superior absorption characteristics, 819 is well-suited for application in thick-film systems.
Photoinitiator 819 can be used in combination with other photoinitiators, such as 184 or 651. The synergistic use of 819 and 651 is particularly effective for curing polyester/styrene resin systems, such as those utilized in glass fiber-reinforced materials.
Since Photoinitiator 819 also exhibits absorption within the long-wave UV spectrum, it can be successfully paired with UV absorbers—such as TINUVIN 400—making it an ideal choice for UV-curable coatings that require robust weather resistance.
