What is Photo-sensitizer ?
Photosensitizer is the additive that can absorb the long wave UV and transfer the light energy or electron coming from it to photo-Initiators. Then it helps not only accelerate curing speed and curing in depth but also improve properties of cured products.
Characteristics
ANTHRACURE UVS series are designed to …
- Speed cure in both UV cationic and radical polymerization.
- be sensitized in the unparalleled absorption range of long UV wavelength around 400nm that is capable of utilizing several light sources such as conventional Mercury lamp, Electrodeless lamp, LEDs and Laser.
- Improve curing depth.
- Give many options of initiators that can not necessarily initiate polymerization reaction.
- attain none or less yellowing after curing when used UVS-581 or UVS-2171 in conjunction with UVS-1331 or 1101.
- reduce the dose of initiators.
- behave as both photo sensitizer and polymerization inhibitor (show the sharp on/off cut-off performance)

Recommended for...
Someone who want to cure thick layer
The requirement for being able to cure thick film is utilizing long wave UV that can reach
depth.
ANTHRACURETM absorbs such light effectively to transfer its energy to
initiators. Accordingly, it leads to homogenous polymerization even in depth direction.
Someone who want to use LEDs
LED light sources, while consuming less energy and emitting less heat, emit a singular wavelength ranging
from 365-405nm (long wave UV).
ANTHRACURETM efficiently absorbs the UV light
coming from LEDs. When added to the conventional formulation, it helps achieve an equivalent or higher
curing rate and improves insufficient curing.

Pigmented system
The pigments that absorb the UV light for activating initiators will retard curing
significantly.
ANTHRACURETM contributes to overcome this kind of issues by
utilizing long wave UV.
Sensitizing effect of ANTHRACURETM in thick film polymerization
A short wavelength of UV light (orange line) does not reach to the deep layer and it
activates only the initiators in surface layer.
To cure depth ANTHRACURETM can
activate the initiators even in deep layer by long wave UV (blue line) which can go through thick layers.
Accordingly, it leads to the homogeneous cured layer.
