Preparation of 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone_Kain Industrial Additive

Background and overview^[1][2]

Photoinitiator refers to a substance in a photopolymerization imaging system that is directly sensitive to light and promotes the polymerization of monomers into polymer compounds. It can improve the sensitivity of photopolymerizing materials, expand the color range, and play a spectral sensitization role. Commonly used compounds include the following: carbonyl compounds (benzophenone, polynuclear quinone), with a color sensitive range of 360 to 420 nanometers; azo compounds (azobisisobutyronitrile, diazonium salts), with a color sensitive range of 340 nm ~400 nanometers; organic sulfur compounds (thiols) have a color sensitivity range of 280 to 400 nanometers; halides have a color sensitivity range of 300 to 400 nanometers; sensitizing dyes have a color sensitivity range of 400 to 700 nanometers; zinc oxide has a color sensitivity range Wavelength 300~380 nanometers.

In light-initiated curing or polymerization systems, such as UV-curing inks, varnishes, adhesives, and silicones, this chemical can break certain chemical bonds when exposed to light. Reactive groups are formed, which then initiate polymerization or cross-linking reactions. Generally called a catalyst. Some UV-curable silicone systems are catalyzed with photosensitive chelates. UV radiation breaks the chelates, causing them to initiate a curing reaction.

1-Hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, also known as photoinitiator 184, is an α-hydroxyketone photoinitiator, the chemical name is 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, α-hydroxyketone photoinitiator It is a new type of high-efficiency photoinitiator. Since there is no α-hydrogen atom, this type of photoinitiator system has high stability, long storage life, wide UV absorption range, fast polymerization speed, good solubility, low odor, and low pollution. The prepared photosensitive composition has excellent stability and is widely used in coatings, inks, electronics, optical fiber, adhesives, printing and other fields, and shows strong vitality.
