TIANCURE 369 is a highly efficient UV curing agent which is used to initiate the photopolymerisation of chemically prepolymers - e.g. acrylates - in combination with mono- or multifunctional monomers. TIANCURE 369 is especially suitable for pigmented UV curable systems, photoresists and printing plates.

    Applications

    TIANCURE 369 may be used after adequate testing alone or in combination with suitable coinitiators, such as Photoinitator 184 and Photoinitator 651, for UV curable inks and varnishes for applications on paper, metal and plastic materials. Its high absorptivity makes it especially suitable for UV curable inks.

    Applications in the graphic arts (e.g. offset and screen inks, printing plates, etc.) and in the electronics industry (e.g. photoresists, solder masks, etc.) may also be of interest.

    The amount of Photoinitator 369 required for optimum performance should be determined in trials covering a concentration range of it is known to be limited.
