    Photoinitiator
    General IRGACURE 500 is a liquid mixture of two photoinitiators. It is used to
    initiate the photopolymerisation of chemically unsaturated prepolymers
    - e.g. acrylates - in combination with mono- or multifunctional
    monomers.

    Chemical Composition IRGACURE 500 is a 1:1 mixture by weight of :

    OH

    50 % 1-Hydroxy-cyclohexyl-phenyl-ketone (IRGACURE 184)

    50 % Benzophenone

    Physical Properties Appearance: light yellow liquid
    (typical values)
    Viscosity at 20°C: 90 mPa s (cone/plate viscosity tester)

    3
    Specific density at 20°C: 1.11 g/cm

    Miscibility at 20°C (g/100 g solution):


    Miscibility in most common organic solvents, as well as most acrylate
    based monomers, exceeds 50g/100g solution.

    Applications IRGACURE 500 may be used after adequate testing alone or in


    combination with suitable coinitiators, such as amines for applications
    such as UV curable clear coatings for paper, metal and plastic
    materials.

    Its low viscosity provides an additional advantage lowering the viscosity


    of the total formulation.

    As a liquid initiator IRGACURE 500 is especially suitable to be used for


    the dispersion in water based UV formulations.

    The amount of IRGACURE 500 required for optimum performance


    should be determined in trials covering a concentration range.

    Recommended concentration:

    2.0 – 6.0 % IRGACURE 500

    Safety and Handling IRGACURE 500 should be handled in accordance with good industrial
    practice. Detailed information is provided in the Safety Data Sheet.

    IRGACURE 500 is sensitive to visible light and any exposure to sunlight


    should be avoided. Opened drums should be closed after use to
    protect the product against light.

    Storage at under 18°C may lead to partial solidification. It is


    recommended not to use the remaining liquid phase. To reliquify the
    product heat contents to 25-35 °C, e.g. by placing the drum into a hot
    water bath (50-60 °C). This procedure does not affect the effectiveness
    of the product.
