Diphenyliodonium iodide (Cat No.:R070013) is a chemical compound widely used as a photoinitiator in photopolymerization processes. It plays a crucial role in the initiation of photochemical reactions, particularly in UV-curable coatings, adhesives, and printing inks. When exposed to UV or visible light, diphenyliodonium iodide undergoes a photolytic reaction, releasing a Lewis acid, which initiates the polymerization of monomers in the surrounding material.
