Materials that improve photoinitiation efficiency are known as synergists. They are known as synergists since they are not actually photoinitiators themselves but improve the kinetics of photoinitiated polymerization. Traditional synergists are amines and exhibit synergy by coupling with the photoinitiator and lowering the activation energy of the photoinitiation reaction and/or by acting as an antioxidant.   [Read More](https://news.piedmontchemical.com/articles/synerpi-in-combination-with-bdk-is-an-effective-alternative-as-tpo-is-reclassified-as-a-reproductive-toxicant-by-the-eu) [![](https://news.piedmontchemical.com/hubfs/molecules.jpeg) ](https://news.piedmontchemical.com/articles/introducing-synerpi) ** May 16, 2022 ## [Introducing SynerPi](https://news.piedmontchemical.com/articles/introducing-synerpi) Included in the May 2022 edition of [PCI Magazine](http://pcimag.com) is a [feature](https://news.piedmontchemical.com/hubfs/SynerPi%20Feature%20PCI%20Magazine.pdf) from Piedmont detailing our new UV initiator synergist, SynerPi.  [Read More](https://news.piedmontchemical.com/articles/introducing-synerpi) [![](https://news.piedmontchemical.com/hubfs/Piedmont%20Aerial.jpeg) ](https://news.piedmontchemical.com/articles/watch-us-grow-out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-new) ** March 09, 2020 ## [Watch us grow: out with the old and in with the new](https://news.piedmontchemical.com/articles/watch-us-grow-out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-new) As part of our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement in all operational areas, Piedmont Chemical Industries has recently completed the installation of a new 6000 gallon vessel.
