What is Irgacure 2959?

Irgacure 2959 is a awful able non-yellowing abolitionist photoinitiator for the UV abating of systems absolute of unsaturated monomers and prepolymers. It is abnormally ill-fitted area low odor is appropriate andfor use in water-borne systems based on acrylate or unsaturated polyester resins. The alive hydroxy accumulation can be reacted with acceptable functionalized unsaturated resins.

Irgacure 2959 may be used afterwards able testing in UV curable formulations on substrates like wood, metal, artificial and paper.

Due to its different accessory backdrop Irgacure 2959 is abnormally recommended if top temperatures and air apportionment are appropriate for water dehydration above-mentioned to UV abating of the blanket and for formulations where minimum balance odor is required, e.g. in press assimilate food packaging.

A added important affection of Irgacure 2959 is the abeyant to acknowledge the hydroxy anatomic accumulation to anatomy a grafted photoinitiator assimilate a adhesive backbone, consistent in arrangement with minimum extractability of the photoinitiator.

Irgacure 2959 has lower animation and odor than Irgacure 1173. Importantly, the alive hydroxyl groups of Irgacure 2959 are calmly grafted assimilate the polymer molecules, authoritative them easier to process.
