As an efficient photoinitiator, the photolysis products of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenyl phosphine oxide (TPO) are three methyl benzoyl free radical and two phenyl phosphonyl free radical, which are both free radicals with high initiating activity. The absorption wavelength of the photodissociation product moves to the short wave, and has the effect of photobleaching, which is beneficial to the ultraviolet light transmission, and can be used for the curing of thick coating. The thermal stability of TPO is excellent. It is heated to 180℃ without chemical reaction and has good storage stability. Although 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenyl phosphine oxide (TPO) has its own light yellow, it becomes colorless after photolysis and does not change yellowing.

Ideal UV photoinitiator should have the following advantages

Cheap and simple synthesis;
Photoinitiators and their photolysis products shall be non-toxic and tasteless;
Good stability, easy to store for a long time;
The absorption spectrum of photoinitiator must match the emission band of radiation source and have high molar extinction coefficient;
Because most photoinitiators transition to excited singlet and excited triplet after absorbing light energy, the inter system transition efficiency of initiators is higher;
Higher initiation efficiency.
