An oxygen scavenger composition includes an organic oxygen scavenger, a
transition metal catalyst, and a blend of at least two photoinitiators
selected from 1,3,5-tris(4-benzoylphenyl)benzene, thioxanthone
derivative, acyl phenylphosphineoxide derivative, and diphenyl sulfide
derivative. A film includes at least one layer including an organic
oxygen scavenger, a transition metal catalyst, and a blend of at least
two photoinitiators selected from 1,3,5-tris(4-benzoylphenyl)benzene,
thioxanthone derivative, acyl phenylphosphineoxide derivative, and
diphenyl sulfide derivative. A method of triggering an oxygen scavenger
composition includes providing an oxygen scavenger composition including
an organic oxygen scavenger, a transition metal catalyst, and a blend of
at least two of 1,3,5-tris(4-benzoylphenyl)benzene, thioxanthone
derivative, acyl phenylphosphineoxide derivative, and diphenyl sulfide
derivative; and subjecting the oxygen scavenger composition to a dosage
of actinic radiation effective to trigger the oxygen scavenger
composition.
