Yellow Powder DL-CAMPHORQUINONE CAS 10373-78-1 Photosensitizer

Camphorquinone is a monoterpenoid diketone compound with physiological and photosensitizing activity. It is also an important chiral synthetic intermediate with wide applications in biological, pharmaceutical, electronic, and chemical fields. For example, camphorquinone can be used as a probe reagent in the study of combinatorial enzyme properties.

In the pharmaceutical field, camphorquinone is used as a highly efficient and low-toxicity photosensitizer in the manufacture of acrylic lenses, dental fillers, enamel repair agents, dental adhesives, surgical molds, and medical plasters. Industrially, camphorquinone is used in the electronics industry to manufacture printed circuit boards, sealing and insulating components for optoelectronic instruments, developing materials, recording media in holographic and printing, copying, and faxing equipment, and as a catalyst for photopolymerization. It can also be used to manufacture photodegradable ethylene polymers. This clearly presents significant challenges in mitigating environmental pollution.
