Used as a photoinitiator in UV-curable systems, this compound plays a key role in polymer chemistry where it enables rapid curing of coatings, inks, and adhesives upon exposure to ultraviolet light. Its structure allows efficient generation of free radicals, initiating polymerization with high sensitivity and speed. It is particularly effective in clear coatings and thin films due to its good light absorption in the UV range and low yellowing tendency. Additionally, it is utilized in dental composites and 3D printing resins where precise, fast curing is essential. The compound’s stability in storage and reactivity under UV light make it suitable for industrial and specialty applications requiring controlled, on-demand curing.
