Used primarily as a photoinitiator in UV-curable coatings, inks, and adhesives, it facilitates rapid polymerization under ultraviolet light, enhancing production efficiency. Its effectiveness in initiating cross-linking reactions makes it valuable in industries requiring quick-drying and durable finishes, such as automotive, electronics, and packaging. Additionally, it is employed in dental materials for curing composite resins, ensuring strong and long-lasting dental restorations. Its role in photopolymerization also extends to 3D printing, where it helps create precise and stable structures.
