Omnirad 2100 is a highly efficient liquid curing agent to initiate radical polymerization of unsaturated resins after exposure to UV light such as those based on a prepolymer – e.g., acrylates and unsaturated polyesters – in combination with mono- or multifunctional monomers as reactive thinners. It is well suitable for formulations in which Omnirad TPO is used. Omnirad 2100 provides all the handling advantages of a liquid product. In thicker coatings Omnirad 2100 offers improved bottom curing compared with that of Omnirad TPO. It is especially suitable for white-pigmented formulations with minimal yellowing after curing and for coatings with low pigment volume concentration. Therefore Omnirad 2100 can be offered in almost all applications as a one-to-one replacement for Omnirad TPO with certain advantages.

Omnirad 2959 is a highly efficient non-yellowing Type I photoinitiator for the UV curing of systems comprising of unsaturated monomers and prepolymers. It is especially suited where low odor is required and for use in water-borne systems based on acrylate or unsaturated polyester resins. The active hydroxy group can be reacted with suitable functionalized unsaturated resins

Omnirad 73 is a highly efficient, low yellowing, Type I photoinitiator used to initiate radical polymerization of unsaturated oligomers e.g. acrylates, after exposure to UV light. It can be used in combination with mono or multi functional monomers as reactive diluents.

Omnirad 819 is a versatile photoinitiator for radical polymerization of unsaturated resins upon UV light exposure. It is especially suitable for white pigmented Formulations, the curing of glass-fiber-reinforced polyester/styrene systems and for clear coats for outdoor use in combinations with light stabilizers. Thick section curing is also possible with this photoinitiator.

Omnirad 819DW is a versatile photoinitiator for radical polymerization of unsaturated resins upon light exposure. It is especially suited for the curing of pigmented water-based dispersions (so-called polyurethane dispersions, PUDs, or acrylic dispersions), the daylight-curing of PUD-based clear coats and for use in combination with light stabilizers. Other possible uses include thick-section curing, emulsion-type and 100 % UV systems.

PL-TINP is a highly efficient hydroxyphenol benzotriazole ultraviolet light absorber (UVA).

Omnirad BMS is a highly effective Type II photoinitiator used to initiate radical polymerization of unsaturated monomers and oligomers e.g. acrylates after exposure to UV light

Omnirad 127 is a highly efficient Type I Photoinitiator that may be used to initiate the photo polymerization of unsaturated pre-polymers like acrylates – in combination with mono- or multifunctional monomers. Omnirad 127 is especially suitable for all types of pigmented UV inks (offset, screen, flexo and inkjet) and clear coatings, particularly in thin coatings (such as overprint varnishes) but also in a variety of coating applications.

Esacure KIP 160 is a new photoinitiator characterized by excellent reactivity especially in comparison with conventional alpha hydroxy ketones. Its molecule was suited to shift the absorption spectrum to longer wavelenght and to work perfectly with pigmented systems using conventional UV equipments. It shows a good performance with clear coatings too. Esacure KIP 160 is suitable for all systems where low VOC, low migration and low extraction values are needed.

Esacure KIP IT is a liquid mixture of Esacure KIP 150 (65% ) and Propoxylated glycerol triacrylate (35%). It is by high reactivity and non-yellowing properties. It is particularly recommended when low odor and low yellowing are required characteristics
