This chemical is primarily utilized in the field of organic synthesis, particularly in the development of photoinitiators for UV-curable coatings and inks. Its structure allows it to efficiently generate free radicals upon exposure to UV light, which initiates the polymerization process in various resins and monomers. This property makes it valuable in industries such as printing, packaging, and electronics, where fast and efficient curing of coatings is essential. Additionally, it is employed in the production of adhesives and sealants, ensuring strong bonding and durability in end products. Its stability and reactivity under UV light contribute to its effectiveness in these applications.
