Photoinitiator 184 Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 1-Hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl Ketone
- Hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl Ketone
Photoinitiator 184 supplier for formulators and manufacturers in Malaysia. This page covers photoinitiator 184, the type I free-radical photoinitiator also known as 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, specified for radiation-cure systems where fast cure and low yellowing matter.
Standard UV curing and high-purity grades can be requested, each supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder. The grade is chosen against the resin chemistry, cure speed and purity limits of the finished formulation.
UV coatings, printing inks, radiation-cure adhesives, 3D printing resins and paper coating systems each place their own demands on initiator level and film properties. State the application so the quoted grade matches the formulation.
To request photoinitiator 184, identify the resin chemistry and cure application, then state standard or high-purity grade, the purity limit, quantity and delivery location. The quotation will confirm the matched grade, packing, documentation and delivery basis. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about photoinitiator 184
What is photoinitiator 184 used for?
Photoinitiator 184 is a type I free-radical photoinitiator used in UV-cured coatings, printing inks, adhesives and 3D printing resins, where it starts the polymerisation that hardens the film under UV light.
Is photoinitiator 184 the same as hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone?
Yes. 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone (CAS 947-19-3) is the chemical name of photoinitiator 184, and both names describe the same material on this page.
Which grade of photoinitiator 184 should I request?
Standard UV curing grades suit most coating, ink and adhesive systems, while high-purity grades are requested for clear coats and sensitive resin systems. State the end use and any purity limit in the enquiry.
How is photoinitiator 184 packed for delivery?
The crystalline powder requires dry, sealed and light-protective handling. The quotation confirms a suitable pack format for the selected grade and order quantity.
How is photoinitiator 184 priced for Malaysian buyers?
Pricing reflects standard or high-purity grade, the specified purity limit, order quantity, pack format and delivery location. Include the resin system and cure application so the appropriate grade can be quoted.
