2-Isopropylthioxanthone

A photoinitiator of the thioxanthone family, known as ITX: it absorbs ultraviolet light and starts the reaction that hardens UV-cured inks and varnishes, used for example in printing packaging. This family brings together the active ingredient.

Did you know?In 2005 traces of ITX transferred from ink were detected in Italy in some carton-packed foods: EFSA judged them of no health concern, and the case led to EU good manufacturing rules for packaging.
