GENOPOL* TX-2
GENOPOL* TX-2 is a multifunctional thioxanthone derivative for use in UV-curable inks, coatings and adhesives where low migration and low odor are required. It can be used as a replacement for ITX and other thioxanthone derivatives. During the production process of the polymeric GENOPOL* product range, the low molecular weight substances are removed. Therefore, GENOPOL* TX-2 is very low in odor. Combined with the ability to link into the UV cured acrylate matrix, GENOPOL* TX-2 will exhibit extreme low tendency to migrate. This product is used in the following applications: offset inks and varnishes; flexo inks and varnishes; letterpress inks and varnishes; letterpress inks and varnishes; and screen inks and varnishes. GENOPOL*.TX-2 should always be used in combination with GENOPOL*.AB-2.

Printed Electronics Product Flash
Printed electronics is the broad term for a relatively new technology that defines the printing of electronics on common substrates such as paper, plastic, and textile using standard printing processes. The technology is believed to be one of the fastest growing in the world with an estimated USD 300 billion dollar market potential. Common press equipment used in the graphics arts industry, such as screen printing, flexography, gravure, ink-jet and offset lithography are employed.
GENOCURE* BAPO
GENOCURE* BAPO is typically used in concentrations from 0.1 to 1.5%. In white pigmented inks and coatings, it is often used in combination with GENOCURE CPK. This product is a phosphine oxide photoinitiator for UV-curable inks, coatings and adhesives. Due to the strong absorption at 370nm GENOCURE* BAPO shows excellent through cure in pigmented systems.
GENOCURE* BDK
GENOCURE* BDK is a benzildimethylketal. It is a photoinitiator for UV-curable inks, coatings and adhesives. Optimum results are obtained in combination with an amine synergist (GENOCURE* MDEA, oligoamines etc.). This product is typically used in offset inks and varnishes, printed circuit boards, glassfiber coating, wood and industrial coating and photo polymers and printing plates.
GENOCURE* BDMM
GENOCURE* BDMM is an aromatic ketone. It is a Norrish Type I photoinitiator for UV-curable inks, coatings and adhesives. Due to the strong absorption at 325 nm, GENOCURE* BDMM shows excellent through cure in dark color pigmented systems. GENOCURE* BDMM is typically used in concentrations from 0.5 to 4%. In printing inks it is often used in combination with thioxantones, aminobenzoates, benzophenones, GENOCURE* PMP, CPK and BDK.
