| abstract |
The invention relates to the use of a new class of sulphurated derivatives of aromatic-aliphatic or aliphatic ketones as a) polymerization or crosslinking photoinitiators for transparent or pigmented mixtures containing ethylenically unsaturated photopolymerizable compounds, in particular for obtaining polyacrylates, b) photochemically releasable latent acid catalysts, useful for crosslinking systems polycondensable by acid catalysis, of the type comprising etherified aminoplasts together with compounds containing hydroxyl, carboxyl, amido, amino and other functionalities. Said sulphurated derivatives enable manufactured articles to be obtained with exceptionally clear color while maintaining photochemical reactivity at high levels. |
