(Cumene)cyclopentadienyliron(II) Hexafluorophosphate Applications

Cationic Epoxy Curing: The main use of this product is as a photoinitiator for cationic curing of epoxy resins. After light exposure, it starts the cationic polymerization of the epoxy system and helps convert the liquid resin into a cured material.

UV-Curable Coatings and Adhesives: This photoinitiator can be used in UV-curable coatings and adhesives based on cationically curable resins. It is used as a formulation component to start the curing reaction rather than as the coating or adhesive itself.

Cationic Inks: (Cumene)cyclopentadienyliron(II) Hexafluorophosphate is also used in cationic light-curable inks.
