This chemical is primarily used in the formulation of UV-curable coatings and inks, where it acts as a photoinitiator. When exposed to UV light, it generates free radicals that initiate the polymerization process, leading to the rapid curing of coatings and inks. This makes it valuable in industries such as printing, packaging, and electronics, where fast and efficient curing is essential. Additionally, it is employed in the production of adhesives and sealants, enhancing their performance by ensuring quick and durable bonding. Its ability to improve the efficiency of UV-cured products makes it a key component in modern manufacturing processes.
