Throughout the years, we have accumulated a number of publications and patents that have helped shape the specialty chemical industry and cemented our place as one of the go-to companies for custom synthesis and problem consultation in the southeast US.
SynerPI®, in combination with BDK, is an effective alternative as TPO is reclassified as a reproductive toxicant by the EU
SynerPI® is the amide of acetic acid and dibenzylamine. It can be used with most LED based photinitiators and with both Norrish Type I and Norrish Type II photoinitiators. Materials that improve photoinitiation efficiency are known as synergists. They are known as synergists since they are not actually photoinitiators themselves but improve the kinetics of photoinitiated polymerization. Traditional synergists are amines and exhibit synergy by coupling with the photoinitiator and lowering the activation energy of the photoinitiation reaction and/or by acting as an antioxidant.
