EDB (Ethyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate) Amine Synergist
EDB (Ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate) is a tertiary amine co-initiator and synergist widely used with Type II photoinitiators (benzophenone, thioxanthone) in UV adhesive and coating formulations. It donates a hydrogen atom to excited photoinitiator triplet states, dramatically accelerating surface and bulk cure rate and reducing oxygen inhibition. EDB also improves the yellowing resistance compared to aliphatic amine synergists, making it preferred for clear and light-colored UV adhesive systems.
