UVACURE® 1600 is thermally stable iodonium salt photoinitiators are used to induce the polymerization of epoxides and other cationically polymerizable materials on exposure to UV light. UVACURE® 1600 is p-(octyloxyphenyl)phenyliodonium hexafluoroantimonate in solid form. It is compatible with most UV cationic cure systems and is especially useful for the rapid polymerization of thin clear coatings on metal, plastic, and paper substrates. Coatings cured using UVACURE® 1600 generally exhibit excellent adhesion, particularly on metal substrates.
