Omnirad TPO-L is a highly efficient liquid type I photoinitiator used to initiate radical polymerization of unsaturated oligomers such as acrylates and unsaturated polyesters containing styrene, after exposure to UV light. It is especially suitable for use in pigmented systems, including those containing TiO2, and thick film layers due to its absorption in the long wave region of the UV spectrum.
