Photoinitiator 1001M

1-[4-(4-Benzoylphenylthio)phenyl]-2-tosyl-2-methyl-1-propanone

Macromolecular benzophenone-acetophenone hybrid for ultra-low-migration inks.

Product Description

1001M combines a benzophenone chromophore with an acetophenone cleavage center in one effectively macromolecular molecule. Photolysis produces high-molecular-weight radicals that stay in the film, minimizing extractables — directly addressing migration limits in food-contact packaging.

It works as a self-sufficient Type II initiator (the tosyl group serves as internal hydrogen donor) and can replace BP/amine pairs in compliant ink systems. Typical loadings are 2–5 wt%.

Key Features

  • Effectively macromolecular — minimal migration
  • Internal hydrogen donor — no separate amine needed
  • Targets Swiss Ordinance / Nestlé compliance
  • White powder, easy incorporation

Applications

  • Food-packaging UV inks
  • Low-migration overprint varnishes
  • Paper and board coatings
  • Compliant flexible-packaging systems
  • Low-odor industrial coatings
