Abstract
Abstract The photopolymerizable composition described contains A) at least one ethylenically unsaturated photopolymerizable compound, B) a photoinitiator of the formula I ##STR1## and C) a photosensitizer from the group of aromatic carbonyl compounds having a triplet energy of 225-310 kJ/mol, for example xanthones, thioxanthones, 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 sensitizers 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.
