Technical profile of 1-Hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl Ketone, a high-purity raw chemical material supplied by Triveni Chemicals for industrial manufacturing and laboratory synthesis.


1-Hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl Ketone is a photoinitiator compound with the chemical formula C13H16O2 and molecular weight 204.25 g/mol. It appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline powder with low odor. It is slightly soluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. It is stable under normal storage conditions but sensitive to light exposure.
In terms of uses and applications, 1-Hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl Ketone is widely used in the UV-curable coating, ink, and adhesive industries as a radical photoinitiator. Upon UV light exposure, it generates free radicals that initiate polymerization of acrylate and methacrylate systems. It is commonly used in printing inks, varnishes, wood coatings, and plastic coatings to achieve fast curing and high-performance surface properties. In the electronics industry, it is used in photoresists and specialty UV-curable formulations. Additionally, it is applied in dental materials, 3D printing resins, and advanced polymer systems requiring rapid UV curing and strong mechanical properties.
