Deuteron UV 1450
Deuteron UV 1450 is a solution of Bis-(4.4-(C10-C13) alkylphenyl) iodonium hexafluoro antimonate in reactive solvent. Deuteron photo initiators are suitable for resins based on oxirane and/or oxetane groups (epoxy resins and vinylether.
The addition of Deuteron photo initiators enables the formulator to utilize UV light to induce the polymerisation of the above-mentioned resin systems. Deuteron UV 1450 is soluble in the mentioned binder systems including the standard solvents and reactive diluents. The polymerisation is initiated by exposure to UV light in a wavelength range between 220 nm and 250 nm.
The maximum absorption is at 240 nm. Suitable light sources are high-pressure mercury lamps that have a high emission in the mentioned area of absorption. Deuteron UV 1450 does not affect the film shrinkage negatively because it contains no volatile solvents.
