1-Hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C13H16O2. It is commonly known as Irgacure 184 or HCPK.
Irgacure 184 is a photoinitiator, meaning it initiates or catalyzes a chemical reaction upon exposure to light. Specifically, it is a type II photoinitiator, which means it absorbs light in the ultraviolet (UV) range and undergoes a photochemical reaction to generate free radicals. These free radicals can then initiate polymerization or cross-linking reactions in various types of materials, such as coatings, adhesives, and inks.
Some potential applications of Irgacure 184 include:
UV-curable coatings: It is used as a photoinitiator in UV-curable coatings, which are coatings that dry and cure rapidly when exposed to UV light. This enables fast curing times and improved efficiency in coating processes.
3D printing: Irgacure 184 is utilized in the photopolymerization process in 3D printing. When UV light is applied, it triggers the polymerization of the liquid resin, leading to the formation of solid objects layer by layer.
Adhesives and sealants: It is employed as a photoinitiator in UV-curable adhesives and sealants. These materials offer quick bonding and curing upon exposure to UV light, allowing for faster production and bonding in various industries.
Graphic arts and printing inks: Irgacure 184 is used as a photoinitiator in UV-cured inks used for printing on various substrates. It helps to achieve fast curing and improved adhesion properties on different surfaces.
