1-Hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone is used as photoinitiator in UV-radiation-curable technologies which are used in various applications and industry branches such as printing and packaging, coatings, furniture and flooring and adhesives.
1-Hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone is a photoinitiator (PI) molecule that can be used in chain transfer polymerization. PI can be incorporated in the polymeric matrix by the addition of a chromophore as a pendant group. It may be used as a component that facilitates UV curing and also as a base material in the formation of the block and grafted copolymers.
