1-(4-Isopropylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-1-one

Description:

1-(4-Isopropylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-1-one, commonly known as a photoinitiator, is a chemical compound characterized by its ability to initiate polymerization processes upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. This substance features a ketone functional group, which is crucial for its photoinitiating properties, allowing it to absorb UV radiation and generate free radicals that initiate the curing of resins and coatings. It has a relatively high molecular weight and is typically a solid at room temperature. The presence of the isopropylphenyl group contributes to its hydrophobic nature, making it suitable for various applications in the coatings, adhesives, and printing industries. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use. Overall, its effectiveness as a photoinitiator makes it valuable in the formulation of UV-cured materials.
