This triazine derivative is primarily used as a photoinitiator in UV-curable formulations for polymerization reactions. Upon exposure to UV light, it undergoes photodecomposition to generate free radicals, efficiently initiating crosslinking and curing processes in resins, coatings, inks, adhesives, and electronic components. Its unique structure with bis-trichloromethyl groups provides high sensitivity and reactivity, making it valuable for producing durable, high-performance materials resistant to environmental degradation. Additionally, it functions as a UV stabilizer in polymers to prevent photodegradation and enhance longevity in sunlight-exposed applications, such as paints and photosensitive materials.
