Applications:
2-Hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone (Photoinitiator 2959) is a highly efficient, non-yellowing, and low-odor radical type I photoinitiator. Due to the terminal hydroxyl group, it exhibits excellent solubility in water-borne formulations and provides minimal migration after curing, making it one of the safest initiators for sensitive applications.

1. Water-borne UV Systems: Widely used in water-based wood coatings, inks, and adhesives due to its superior compatibility with aqueous resins.
2. Biomedical & Food Packaging: Preferred for hydrogels, contact lenses, and food-grade packaging materials owing to its low toxicity and low extractables.
3. Precision Coatings: Applied in high-end UV-curable coatings for plastics, metals, and paper to ensure excellent surface cure.
4. Offset & Screen Inks: Acts as a reactive initiator to enhance the curing speed and color stability of industrial printing inks.
