Abstract The photopolymerizable mixture described contains (A) at least one ethylenically unsaturated photopolymerisable compound, (B) a photoinitiator of the formula I ##STR1## and (C) a photosensitiser from the group of aromatic carbonyl compounds having a triplet energy of 225-310 kJ/mol, for example xanthones, thioxianthones, coumarins, phthalimides, phenones and the like. Ar is phenyl substituted in the 4-position by a substituted amino group, R 1 and R 2 are alkyl, R 3 and R 4 are alkyl or alkoxyalkyl, or R 3 and R 4 together are 3-oxapentamethylene. Said sensitisers (C) raise the activity of said photoinitiators (B) without shortening the shelf life of the mixtures. The photocurable mixtures are used especially as binders for printing inks or paints.
A compound of formula I ##STR16## in which Ar is phenyl substituted in the 4-position by di(C 1 -C 4 -alkyl)amino or R 1 and R 2 are independently C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, and R 3 and R 4 are each C 1 -C 4 -alkyl or 2-methoxyethyl, or R 3 and R 4 together with the N-atom to which they are attached are morpholino.
