Innovative Photoinitiators Redefining UV Curing Technology

As part of its commitment to advancing UV-curable systems, TINTOLL SPECIALTY is proud to introduce two next-generation photoinitiators TPO-L and TMO. These cutting-edge technologies have been engineered to overcome the limitations of conventional systems, delivering enhanced performance, improved process efficiency, and superior final film quality.

TPO-L: Advanced Alternative to Conventional TPO

TPO-L is engineered as a next-generation substitute for the conventional photoinitiator TPO. It offers several enhancements tailored for modern UV-curing applications:

• Enhanced Efficiency and Broader Wavelength Absorption:
  TPO-L is designed to provide high initiation efficiency across a broader UV spectrum. This allows for more effective curing under various UV light sources, expanding its versatility across different processes.

• Improved Solubility and Compatibility:
  With optimized solubility in a range of solvents and resin systems, TPO-L is particularly attractive for applications where clarity and film aesthetics are vital. Its improved compatibility ensures uniform dispersion in the formulation, contributing to consistent and rapid polymerization.

• Lower Volatility and Odor:
  A lower volatility level and reduced odor make TPO-L suitable for sensitive applications such as electronic coatings and medical devices. This minimizes the risk of contamination and improves the working environment during processing.

• Reduced Yellowing and Enhanced Aesthetic Performance:
  By minimizing discoloration, TPO-L helps maintain the optical quality of cured films, which is essential for applications demanding high visual clarity and minimal color shift over time.

TMO: Novel Photoinitiator for High-Performance UV Curing

TMO is presented as another advanced alternative, optimized to meet the evolving needs of UV-curable systems:

• Optimized Photobleaching Properties:
  TMO exhibits excellent photobleaching characteristics, which means it can diminish any residual color that might develop during curing. This results in coatings that are clearer and visually superior, making it ideal for high-precision and aesthetic applications.

• Rapid Radical Generation and Faster Curing:
  Designed to efficiently generate radicals upon UV exposure, TMO enables quicker curing times without compromising the overall integrity of the film. This fast initiation rate is beneficial for high-throughput production environments where speed and performance are critical.

• Enhanced Chemical Stability and Process Reliability:
  TMO has been formulated to deliver consistent performance even under rigorous processing conditions. Its robust performance contributes to high durability and reliability in finished coatings, ensuring long-lasting protection and functionality.

• Versatile Application Range:
  Whether used in electronics, industrial coatings, or specialty applications, TMO offers flexibility and adaptability across diverse resin systems. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for formulations that demand rapid cure speeds, low yellowing, and reliable adhesion.

By offering TPO-L and TMO, TINTOLL SPECIALTY is addressing key industry challenges in UV-curable systems. These innovations not only enhance the curing process but also improve the final film properties—providing manufacturers with more robust, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing solutions for advanced coating applications.
