Known Application
Camphorquinone (CAS 10373-78-1) is primarily used as a visible light photoinitiator, especially in dental restorative materials such as composite resins, adhesives, and sealants. It absorbs blue light around 468 nm and, often in combination with amine co-initiators, efficiently generates free radicals to initiate polymerization of (meth)acrylate monomers. Its strong wavelength match with common dental curing lights makes it the standard photoinitiator in dental applications, while it is also applied in certain light-curable resins and adhesives beyond dentistry.
