Omnirad 127D

Omnirad 127D by IGM Resins is a highly efficient type I photoinitiator that can be used to initiate the photo polymerization of unsaturated pre-polymers like acrylates in combination with mono or multifunctional monomers.

• It offers very high curing speed, low odor and outstanding surface-curing properties.
• It shows through cure and low sensitivity to oxygen inhibition associated with reduced emission are of particular interest for overprint varnishes and for top coats for wood parquets.
• It is suitable for all types of pigmented inks (offset, screen, flexo and inkjet), water-based & white systems and clear coatings.
• It is recommended for thin coatings.
• It can be used alone or in combination with suitable co-initiators (e.g., Omnirad 379, Omnirad TPO for UV-curable inks and in coating formulations for applications on paper, wood, metal and plastic materials).
• Its red-shifted absorption spectrum makes it especially suitable for UV-curable inks and in general semi-opaque systems.
• The dosage level of the grade for clear coats is 1-6%, inks (free-radical systems) is 2-5% and inks (cationic systems) is 0.5-2%.
