Photoinitiators are small molecules that are sensitive to light. Upon light absorption they undergo photochemical cleavage to produce reactive species (either free radicals or a Bronsted or Lewis acid) that will interact with the active components in formulations. In other words, one could say that photoinitiators take the energy from light and transform it into chemical energy to induce chemical reactions.

Benefits of UV Curable Materials:
- "Green” technology: No organic solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOC)
- Fast Cure = Immediate turnaround with fully developed properties (footprint, time & overall $ savings).
- Excellent Coating Properties: UV-cured coatings provide superior hardness, solvent and chemical resistance.
- Non-flammable. Non-hazardous materials
- Light sources are becoming more affordable
