ADDITOL® HDMAP

ADDITOL® HDMAP by allnex is a general purpose radical photoinitiator that can be used alone or in combination with other photoinitiators. It is used in formulations containing unsaturated materials such as acrylates, methacrylates, vinyls and unsaturated polyesters. With exposure to UV light, ADDITOL® HDMAP undergoes a photochemical reaction that generates radicals. These radicals will initiate polymerization through the unsaturated groups present in the system. It possesses low viscosity and good solvency. This grade is characterized by balanced surface, through cure and good shelf stability in UV curable formulated products. Applications include clear-coats for metal & plastics, wood top-coats, overprint varnishes, paper upgrading, inks and pigmented coatings. The recommended usage level is 1-5% by weight based on the reactive components of the formulation.
