Applications Packaging Storage & Handling
• **UV/LED inks & clear coats** — fast surface cure, low yellowing.
• **Pigmented & white coatings** — use micronized grade for better through‑cure.
• **3D printing (SLA/DLP)** — deep cure at 385–405 nm; blend with I‑184/1173/819 as needed.
• 20 / 25 kg cartons or fiber drums (powder); foil‑lined.
• 1 kg aluminum foil bags for R&D.
• Liquid dispersions in 20 kg pails / 200 kg drums.
• Light‑sensitive. Store cool/dry in opaque containers; keep sealed.
• Avoid dust generation; use local exhaust and PPE.
• Observe SDS for classification and transport rules.
Need an alternative for higher wavelength or low‑migration? We also supply **TPO‑L (ethyl phenyl(2,4,6‑trimethylbenzoyl)phosphinate)** and **BAPO** grades — ask for guidance.
