🧪 Detailed Application Scenarios
Traditional UV Curing Industry:
This represents ITX’s most classic and largest application market. It is widely incorporated into various UV-curable coatings, inks, and adhesives. For instance, in the furniture industry, it enables rapid curing of wood finishes; in packaging, it facilitates instant drying of printing inks, boosting production efficiency.

High-End Electronics Manufacturing:
In electronics, ITX serves as a key component in photoresists for printed circuit board (PCB) production. It enables intricate circuit patterning, with its deep-curing capability being critical for ensuring coating performance.

Biomaterials and Medical Applications:
This represents a rapidly advancing frontier. Research indicates ITX can be employed in visible-light-initiated surface graft polymerization to prepare biomaterials for enzyme immobilization, biochips, or cell encapsulation. For instance, it facilitates the synthesis of hemicellulose-grafted acrylic hydrogels, which serve as potential carriers for oral protein drugs.

Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing):
ITX serves as a key initiator component in photopolymer formulations for light-cured 3D printing (e.g., SLA, DLP), directly influencing printed part precision and mechanical strength. Cutting-edge research also focuses on developing novel photoinitiators based on ITX’s core structure for higher-resolution two-photon polymerization nano-3D printing.
