Deuteron UV 1240

1 of 86 products in this brand
Deuteron UV 1240 may be used as a UV hardener for all binding agents that can be cationically polymerized, particularly epoxides. Alkaline additives should be avoided because they impair the effectiveness of Deuteron UV 1240.The photoinitiator Deuteron UV 1240 hardens binder systems that polymerize cationically under UV exposure. Deuteron UV 1240 is soluble in these binder systems including the usual solvents and reactive diluents. back

Applications

Deuteron UV 1240 may be used as a UV hardener for all binding agents that can be cationically polymerized, particularly epoxides. Alkaline additives should be avoided because they impair the effectiveness of Deuteron UV 1240.

Dosage

Concentrations of at least 1 % of Deuteron UV 1240 are recommended for technical applications. It may be necessary to use 5 % or more for special requirements. The higher the dosage, the greater the hardening speed without having to fear brittleness of the film. If possible, radiation exposure can take place at intervals. Regarding the final hardness, this would improve the energy utilization.

Processing

Deuteron UV 1240 can be worked smoothly into the binding agent using a speed stirrer or other mixing aggregate, e.g. dissolver.
