- Applications Recommendations
- Direct solubility of H-Nu 470 in resins can be difficult, pre-dissolution in one of the following resins/solvents before adding resin is recommended:
Free-Radical Diluents Cationic Diluents DMAA VMOX THFA HDDA HPMA IBOA Heloxy61 Heloxy62 EOXA1 ECC2 Eponex1510 S S,T0 S,T0 I P,T0 I I S S,T0 S,T0 S,T0 1% of H-Nu 470 in diluent is: S-soluble Tº-requires heat (60ºC for several hours) P-partially soluble I-insoluble
1 = 3-ethyl-3-hydroxymethyloxetane
2 = 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4
Note: DMAA is an excellent solvent for H-Nu 470, but it cannot be used in cationic polymerization as it inhibits process.
- The presence of any undissolved red particles is an indication of incomplete solubility. More heating (60℃) or stirring may help with incorporation, or pre-dissolution using different diluents is recommended.
Polymerization mechanisms
Free-Radical Cure (Acrylates)- H-Nu 470 concentration range spans from 0.05 to 0.2 wt.%, depending on a cure thickness. 0.05 wt% is recommended starting point for thick cure (>1mm) and 0.1wt% for thin cure.
- Amine acrylates (AA) are needed as co-initiators at 5-10 wt.%. If amine use is counterindicated (acidic adhesion promoter, outgassing), as an alternative, another co-initiator, Borate V (0.5 wt.%) may provide similar cure response as typical amine co-initiators
- H-Nu 254 iodonium salt is recommended for acceleration.
Cationic Cure (Epoxides)
- H-Nu 470 concentration range spans from 0.05 to 0.2 wt.%, with a good starting point at 0.1 wt.% based on solids.
- H-Nu 254 iodonium salt is needed to achieve cure in epoxide resins (sulfonium salts will not work).
- Accelerator AN-9,10-E can greatly enhance cure speed and sensitivity and is needed to achieve cure.
- Amines or DMAA solvent cannot be used due to the superacid “poisoning” effect.
- Caution & experimentation is required at higher temperatures as it can lead to thermal ground state polymerization. Additional stabilizers, depending on the photopolymerization matrix can be used. As an example, 0.2 wt.% of PVP+BHT* mixture (1:1) can be added to glycidyl epoxide and 0.3 wt.% of PVP+BHT mixture (1:1) to cycloaliphatic epoxide.
