The photoinitiator is a kind of additive which utilizes energy from ultraviolet or visible light to induce polymerization and to cure coating and ink. An ink or coating containing a few percentage of photo initiator can dry in less than one second under a UV light radiation.

UV curable coating which formulated with photo initiator is a new kind of environment-friendly product.

By using photo initiators, the UV curing process shows much better coating results with a beautiful high gloss, shining, and scratch resistance coating surface.
