Description :

Overview of DL-Camphorquinone

DL-Camphorquinone is a photoinitiator widely used in polymer, resin, and dental material applications. It is a diketone derivative of camphor and is known for its ability to initiate free-radical polymerisation under visible light, particularly in the blue spectrum.

It is extensively used in light-cured dental resins, coatings, inks, and 3D printing resins. Its stability, efficiency, and compatibility with various monomers make it a preferred photoinitiator in both industrial and research applications. DL-Camphorquinone is strictly industrial and laboratory-grade and is not intended for food or cosmetic use.

Application of DL-Camphorquinone

Dental Resin & Light-Cured Materials

DL-Camphorquinone is the primary photoinitiator in many light-cured dental composites and adhesives.
It enables rapid curing under visible blue light (around 468 nm).
Commonly used alongside co-initiators like amine derivatives to improve polymerisation efficiency.
Can be interlinked with products like Benzoyl Peroxide (if used as an alternative initiator in resins) or Photoinitiator blends in the ChemicalBull catalogue.

Polymer & Coating Applications

Used in UV and visible light-cured coatings, inks, and polymer formulations.
Initiates free-radical polymerisation, enhancing curing speed and final material properties.
Compatible with acrylic, methacrylic, and vinyl monomers.
Can be combined with other additives, such as Camphor derivatives for resin modification.

Research & Laboratory Applications

Widely applied in research laboratories for developing photopolymerization systems.
Used to study reaction kinetics and resin chemistry.
Often evaluated alongside other photoinitiators and polymer additives in experimental setups.
