Features Of IGM Omnirad 73 Photoinitiator

  1. High reactivity under UV-A and visible light (365–405 nm), enabling fast cure speeds in LED-driven systems.

  2. Low yellowing tendency, delivering excellent long-term clarity and color stability in transparent coatings and inks.

  3. Good solubility in common acrylate monomers and oligomers, ensuring homogeneous formulation without crystallization issues.

  4. Reduced migration potential compared to Type I photoinitiators, supporting compliance with stringent food-contact and medical device regulations.

  5. Thermally stable up to 120 °C, allowing compatibility with high-temperature processing and post-cure steps.

Typical Applications Of IGM Omnirad 73 Photoinitiator

  1. UV-curable clear and pigmented coatings for wood, plastic, and metal substrates.

  2. LED-curable digital inks for inkjet printing on packaging, labels, and decorative films.

  3. Optical adhesives and encapsulants requiring low volatility and high transparency.

  4. 3D printing resins (SLA/DLP) where reduced odor and skin sensitization risk are critical.

  5. Overprint varnishes and functional topcoats for flexible packaging and pharmaceutical blister foils.
