Luna-cure Photoinitiators – Powering Performance in UV Coatings

Luna-cure 100 is a highly-efficient photoinitator for UV-curable coatings and inks. It is especially suited to clear coatings onto paper, metal, plastic or wood substrates. Luna-cure 100 is soluble in organic solvents; insoluble in water.

Luna-cure 1173 is a photoinitiator used in UV curing clear coating, onto paper, wood, metal and plastic substrates.

Luna-cure 200 is an α-hydroxyalkylphenone photopolymerization initiator.
Its greatest feature is its extremely low yellowing and high reactivity, making it recommended for clear coatings. Its excellent compatibility allows it to be used in a variety of applications.
Although it varies depending on the thickness of the film and the amount of light exposure, it is generally effective with an addition amount of 0.5% to 5%.

Luna-cure 2-ITX is a photoinitiator used in UV technology in wood coatings, inks (lithographic, screen and flexo), composites, electronics and over-print varnishes.

Luna-cure 637A is a low volatile, low odour photoinitiator for PCB inks, printing inks, plastic coatings, over-print varnishes and adhesives.

Luna-cure 907 is a photoinitiator used in UV applications in lithographic inks, silkscreen inks, flexo inks, plastic coatings, composites, electronics, overprint varnishes and adhesives.

Luna-cure BMS is an efficient photoinitiator used in UV technology in various clear or pigmented coatings such as wood varnishes, printing inks and decorative metal can coatings.

Luna-cure DETX is a photoinitiator, used in UV curing lithographic and flexographic ink, as well as in electronics, composites and wood coatings.

Luna-cure EAB is a traditional photoinitiator, often called “Michler’s ketone”.

Luna-cure PAG-001 is a cationic photoinitiator, specially designed for use in thin and clear coatings onto substrates including plastics, metal and paper. Luna-cure PAG-001 improves the coating’s adhesion to the substrate, and offers low shrinkage.

Luna-cure PAG-002 is a cationic photoinitiator, especially designed to ensure complete curing in high-thickness clear coatings, onto metal, plastic or paper substrates.

Luna-cure TPO is a photoinitiator for curing styrene-based unsaturated polyesters and acrylic resins. Its absorbance in the long-wave region of the UV spectrum can fully cure many coatings, even those pigmented with titanium dioxide.

TR-TPO-L is an efficient UV photoinitiator with high initiation activity, excellent solubility and photobleaching performance, and is suitable for systems with high requirements for chroma reduction. TR-TPO-L can be used in formulation systems with low yellowing and low odor. TR-TPO-L is widely used in UV coatings, inks and adhesives.
