BASF and the efciency of energy curing
resins and photoinitiators
Introduction
In the past ve decades, coatings curable by electron-beam or
UV energy have expanded into new markets. Energy curable
technology is used in various applications and industries such
as printing and packaging, automotive and industrial coatings,
furniture and ooring, adhesives and special applications.
Advantages of this technology include:
Faster curing rates over conventional drying techniques

Perfect partner for UV curable resins
Selecting the correct photoinitiator or photoinitiator combination
is critical to achieve the desired curing speed and balance of
properties.
UV cured inks are used for a variety of lithographic, exographic,
digital, and screen printing applications. These inks can present
special formulation challenges due to their pigmentation and need
for tightly controlled viscosity. To solve this problem, BASF offers
several photoinitiators such as Irgacure
1173) are
preferred as part of a photoinitiator package when curing
unpigmented clear coatings or for surface curing in highly
UV curing is a rapidly growing technology within coatings, printing and packaging,
adhesives and electronic materials. UV curing systems have dramatically increased
line speeds and become environmentally friendly coatings.

pigmented systems. For through curing of thicker sections and
for highly pigmented systems, an acyl phospine oxide type of
photoinitiator such as the BAPO or monoacyl phospine oxide
(MAPO) families is suggested. BAPO-type photoinitiators are
designed to be activated by a longer wavelength UV light in
the near visible region above 400 nm. Light of this wavelength
penetrates deeper into the lower layers of the coating, thus
enabling the through curing desired.
Moreover, BAPO-type photoinitiators also allow UV absorbers
to be formulated into the coating for improved outdoor
durability. In addition to excellent through-cure properties, BAPO
phototinitiators photobleach after UV exposure to give a clean
white appearance in contrast to an off-white color associated with
other long wavelength absorption photoinitiators.
Shorter wavelength light, around 230 nm, is of higher photon
energy but is less penetrating than that of longer wavelengths.
Light of shorter wavelength is particularly useful for surface curing.
Selection of the best individual photoinitiator or combination
depends on a number of variables including the chemistry of the
resin system (UPES, epoxy acrylate, urethane acrylate), selection
of monomers, UV lamp type and orientation, curing speed
required, coating properties, substrate and more.
