Migration-resistant photopolymerization sensitizer

Abstract

A photopolymerization sensitizer may not cause problems of dusting or coloring of a cured product due to bleeding of additives such as the photopolymerization sensitizer on the surface, e.g., by blooming at the time of photo-curing or during storage of the cured product, and which provides a practically sufficient photo-curing rate. A 9,10-bis(alkoxycarbonylalkyleneoxy)anthracene compound having ester groups, of formula (I): wherein A is a C1-20 alkylene group, optionally branched by an alkyl group, R is a C1-20 alkyl group, optionally branched by the alkyl group, the C1-20 alkyl group optionally being a cycloalkyl group or a cycloalkylalkyl group, and X and Y are independently a hydrogen, a C1-8 alkyl group, or a halogen.
