Deuteron UV 1242

1 of 86 products in this brand
The photoinitiator Deuteron UV 1242 hardens binder systems that polymerize cationically under UV exposure. Deuteron UV 1242 is soluble in these binder systems including the usual solvents and reactive diluents.Deuteron UV 1242 may be used as a UV hardener for all binding agents that can be cationically polymerized, particularly silicones and epoxides. Alkaline additives should be avoided because they impair the effectiveness of Deuteron UV 1242. back

Applications

Deuteron UV 1242 may be used as a UV hardener for all binding agents that can be cationically polymerized, particularly silicones and epoxides. Alkaline additives should be avoided because they impair the effectiveness of Deuteron UV 1242.

Dosage

Concentrations of at least 1 % of Deuteron UV 1242 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 that the film becomes brittle. If possible, radiation exposure should take place at intervals. This would have the consequence of improved energy utilization with regard to the targeted final hardness.

Processing

Deuteron UV 1242 can be worked into the binding agent with a fast agitator or other agitating aggregates such as dissolvers without any problems.
