Against the backdrop of increasingly stringent global environmental policies and escalating chemical safety regulations, the photoinitiator industry is undergoing structural transformation and upgrading. Traditional photoinitiator 907 was listed on the EU's Restricted Substances List in 2011 due to its biological toxicity. Furthermore, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) classified it as a Category 1B Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic (CMR) substance. Consequently, its use is prohibited in numerous sectors, including food contact and human skin contact applications. This has posed significant compliance challenges for downstream industries such as UV coatings and inks. Addressing this industry pain point, JADEWIN Photoinitiator 907T emerged as a cost-effective alternative to traditional 907 photoinitiators. It not only resolves compliance challenges but also delivers comprehensive performance enhancements, injecting new vitality into high-end UV applications.
Leveraging an innovative molecular structure design, JADEWIN Photoinitiator 907T delivers four core advantages that comprehensively meet modern industry demands for environmental sustainability, safety, and high performance:
1. Sulfur-Free Formulation: Eliminates Odor Concerns
Traditional 907 photoinitiators contain sulfur elements in their molecular structure, leaving a distinct, unpleasant “herbal medicine odor” after photopolymerization. This odor primarily stems from the release of sulfur-based irritant gases during curing, which not only degrades the working environment in production workshops but may also reduce market acceptance of end products. JADEWIN 907T employs a sulfur-free molecular structure, eliminating such odors at the source. Post-curing, the product leaves no residual odor, significantly enhancing workplace comfort while ensuring end products meet premium market standards for sensory experience.
II. Benzene-Free Design: Fortifying Safety Barriers
The carcinogenic risks of benzene compounds are widely recognized within the industry. Traditional photoinitiators often contain benzene ring structures, posing potential health and environmental hazards. JADEWIN 907T eliminates benzene entirely during molecular design, removing carcinogenic risks at the source. It fully complies with restrictions on hazardous substances under EU REACH regulations and global chemical safety standards. This advantage enables broad application potential in high-safety-demand sectors like food packaging and children's products, providing reliable assurance for enterprises to mitigate safety compliance risks.
III. Exceptional Yellowing Resistance, Compatible with Clearcoat Systems
Yellowing resistance is a key indicator for evaluating the long-term appearance of light-curing products, particularly critical in demanding applications like clearcoats and high-gloss coatings that require strict transparency and color stability. JADEWIN 907T demonstrates remarkable yellowing resistance. Even when used alone, it maintains long-term clarity and transparency in the cured film without yellowing or aging. This makes it perfectly suited for clear coat system production requirements, providing robust support for high-quality decorative finishes in premium furniture, automotive components, optical materials, and other sectors.
IV. Low VOC Emissions Empowering High-End Applications
As global regulations on volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions tighten, China's GB 38507-2020 standard explicitly limits VOC content in radiation-curable inks to ≤100g/L. Premium packaging sectors like cigarette packaging and wine labels demand VOC emission levels far exceeding national standards. With its exceptionally low VOC release, JADEWIN 907T effortlessly meets the stringent requirements of these premium UV applications. It stands as the ideal photoinitiator choice for specialized sectors like cigarette packaging printing, high-end wine label production, and flexible food packaging. This enables enterprises to successfully expand their premium market share amid tightening environmental policies.
Amidst the expanding photopolymer initiator market and dual demands for environmental compliance and performance upgrades, JADEWIN Photopolymer Initiator 907T delivers core competitiveness through “compliant substitution + high performance + cost-effectiveness.” It not only provides a perfect transition solution for enterprises constrained by traditional 907 formulations but also propels the UV curing industry toward greater environmental sustainability, safety, and premium quality through its comprehensive performance advantages. Whether pursuing production compliance, improving operational environments, enhancing product performance, or expanding into premium markets, JADEWIN Photoinitiator 907T stands as a trusted partner.
