PowerCure™ 1173 may be used for applications such as UV curable clear coatings based on acrylates for paper, metal and plastic materials after adequate testing.
PowerCure™ 1173 is especially easy to incorporate. This type I photoinitiator is therefore highly suitable for blends with other photoinitiators as a liquid UV curing agent with excellent compatibility.
PowerCure™ 1173 is especially recommended when UV coatings are required to exhibit only minimal yellowing even after prolonged exposure to sunlight.
The amount of PowerCure™ 1173 required for optimum performance should be determined in trials covering a concentration range.
Recommended dosage is 1-4% w/w.
