ADDITOL® ITX

ADDITOL® ITX by allnex is used as a radical photoinitiator for curing of inks and pigmented coatings. In combination with amine co-initiators or alpha cleavage photoinitiators, it is used in formulations containing unsaturated materials such as acrylates, methacrylates, vinyls and unsaturated polyesters. With exposure to UV light, it undergoes a photochemical reaction that generates radicals. These radicals will initiate polymerization through the unsaturated groups present in the system. ADDITOL® ITX exhibits good solubility. This grade is characterized by good through cure in UV curable formulated products. It is designed for use in flexographic-, offset- and screen inks. The recommended usage level is 0.3-3% by weight based on the reactive components.
