Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to 3,4-bis(halomethyl) benzophenone photoinitiators and these initiators admixed with unsaturated photopolymerizable compounds. When such compositions are irradiated by ultraviolet light, the benzophenone derivatives split off free radicals which initiate the photopolymerization of the unsaturated photopolymerizable compounds.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 77 words
A composition comprising a photopolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compound having admixed therewith, as a photo-polymerization initiator, about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, based on the weight of the unsaturated compound, of at least one benzophenone derivative of the formula ##STR6## wherein R is hydrogen, chloro, methoxycarbonyl, methyl, t-butyl, and R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and each is -CH 2 X, CHX 2 , or CX 3 wherein X is chloro or bromo.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 77 words
A composition comprising a photopolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compound having admixed therewith, as a photo-polymerization initiator, about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, based on the weight of the unsaturated compound, of at least one benzophenone derivative of the formula ##STR6## wherein R is hydrogen, chloro, methoxycarbonyl, methyl, t-butyl, and R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and each is -CH 2 X, CHX 2 , or CX 3 wherein X is chloro or bromo.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein R is hydrogen or chloro: and each R 1 is CH 2 Cl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein R is hydrogen; R 1 is CHCl 2 ; and R 2 is CHCl 2 .
