Features Of IGM Omnirad 379 Photoinitiator

  1. High reactivity under UV and LED-UVA light sources (365–405 nm), enabling rapid curing in low-energy systems.

  2. Excellent surface cure and through-cure balance, minimizing oxygen inhibition effects in free-radical polymerization.

  3. Low volatility and minimal migration, supporting compliance with stringent food-contact and packaging regulations.

  4. Good solubility in common acrylate monomers and oligomers, ensuring homogeneous formulation stability.

  5. Thermally stable up to 120 °C, allowing compatibility with heat-assisted curing processes without premature decomposition.

Typical Applications Of IGM Omnirad 379 Photoinitiator

  1. UV-curable inkjet inks for digital printing on flexible packaging and labels.

  2. Coatings for wood, plastic, and metal substrates requiring high-gloss, scratch-resistant finishes.

  3. Adhesives for electronics assembly and optical bonding where low yellowing and high clarity are critical.

  4. 3D printing resins for stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) applications.

  5. Overprint varnishes and functional barrier coatings in food and pharmaceutical packaging.
