Report Code : 11058 | Publish Date : August 2021 | Industry : Chemicals_Materials | Geography : North America


A photoinitiator is a molecule or compound that produce reactive species such as free radicals, cations or anions when exposed to visible or UV radiation. Photoinitiators can be bifurcated into two types free radical photoinitiators and cationic photoinitiators. Photoinitiators are majorly used for applications that demand UV transparency, high purity, and low residue on evaporation. Easy formulation, operation, and speed are primary factors that are propelling the photoinitiators market.

Market Dynamic- North America Photoinitiator Market
