Photoinitiator
CAS Number: 947-19-3
2-Hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenylpropan-1-one (HMPP, Darocur 1173) liquid photoinitiator for free-radical UV-curable coatings, inks, and adhesives. It has excellent absorption in the 300–360 nm range, making it highly efficient under mercury and LED UV lamps. Low yellowing, low migration, and high reactivity make it a standard choice for clear and pigmented UV-curable formulations.
