SpeedCure BMS

SpeedCure BMS by Lambson (Sartomer) is a 4-benzoyl-4’-methyldiphenyl sulphide. Acts as a highly reactive type II photoinitiator. Exhibits good solubility properties, low migration and low yellowing. It induces the rapid photo-polymerization when formulated with a suitable tertiary amine synergist and in conjunction with Speedcure ITX/DETX and Speedcure EDB, it efficiently initiates the polymerization of pigmented systems. In combination with aminobenzoates, BMS provides fast, efficient initiation. Affords a single liquid additive with a liquid amine synergist comprising both initiator and synergist. SpeedCure BMS is used in clear over print varnishes and decorative coatings for metal cans and food cartons. Suggested levels of use are 0.2 – 5% w/w Speedcure BMS together with 2 – 5% w/w amine synergist (quantities vary depending on individual formulations and applications).
