2-[2-[2-chloro-3-[2-(1,3-dihydro-1,1,3-trimethyl2H-benzo[e]-indol-2-ylidene)-ethylidene]-1-cyclohexen-1-yl]-ethenyl]-1,1,3-trimethyl-1Hbenzo[e]indolium, butyltriphenylborate
Features & Benefits
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Advantages
- Good solubility in a variety of monomers
- Capable of curing a wide range of acrylates via free-radical mechanism
- Cure with red source (red handheld lasers and laser diodes)
- Cure through colored substrates (e.g. a red taillight assembly)
- Initiator bleaching (blue to pale/no color) upon light interaction can act as cure indicator (Borate V enhances cure and bleaching)

- Adhesive & Sealant Type
- Coating Type
- Ink & Toner Type
- Applications Recommendations
- The recommended starting level of H-Nu 815 ranges from 0.25 to 1 wt.% in relation to the total amount of resin in a formulation.
- Borate V co-initiator at a 1:1 weight ratio is not required but will increase the cure speed and overall bleaching of the initiator in many formulations, so it is highly recommended.
- The H-Nu 815 is quite soluble in most acrylate resins, but it is recommended to predissolve photoinitiator and the Borate V (poor solubility in acrylates) in DMAA (N,N-Dimethylacrylamide, 2-3%) for ease of incorporation into your formulation.
