Luna-cure Photoinitiators – Powering Performance in UV Coatings

Luna-cure 100 is an α-hydroxyalkylphenone photopolymerization initiator.
As a low-viscosity liquid initiator, it is soluble in many organic solvents and has excellent handling, compatibility, and reactivity. Therefore, it is also suitable for mixing with other photopolymerization initiators such as Luna-cure 900. Although the amount varies depending on the film thickness and light irradiation, it is generally effective with an addition amount of 0.5% to 5%.

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%.
