Results for tag: "Photoinitiator"

Photoinitiators are a type of catalyst used in the production of polymers and other materials. They are used to initiate the polymerization process, which is the process of forming a polymer from monomers. Photoinitiators are activated by light, usually ultraviolet (UV) light, and are used in a variety of applications, including printing inks, adhesives, coatings, and 3D printing. Photoinitiators are used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, electronics, medical, and packaging. They are used to improve the performance of polymers, such as increasing the strength and durability of the material. They are also used to reduce the curing time of polymers, which can help to reduce production costs. The photoinitiator market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a variety of products. Some of the major players in the market include BASF, Evonik, AkzoNobel, and Clariant. These companies offer a range of photoinitiators, including free-radical, cationic, and dual-cure initiators. Show Less Read more
