Key Uses

• Dental Restorations: Camphorquinone is a key component in dental composite resins. When exposed to visible light, it initiates the polymerization of these resins, allowing for the rapid curing of dental fillings and other restorations.
• Industrial Adhesives: Camphorquinone is used as a photoinitiator in industrial adhesives, curing adhesives quickly and efficiently.
• 3D Printing: Camphorquinone is employed in 3D printing applications, particularly in stereolithography (SLA) processes, to cure resin-based materials rapidly and with high precision.

Key Characteristics

• Photoinitiator: Camphorquinone is an excellent photoinitiator, efficiently initiating free radical polymerization when exposed to visible light.
• Biocompatibility: It is generally considered biocompatible, making it suitable for dental applications.
• Solubility: Camphorquinone is soluble in a variety of organic solvents.
Stability: It is relatively stable under normal storage conditions.
