EBECRYL®

EBECRYL LEO® 10103 is a multifunctional acrylate that in the presence of an amine synergist can enable the UV curing of printing inks and coatings without, or with only a minimal amount, of photoinitiator. The elimination or reduction of photoinitiator decreases the potential for migration in indirect food contact applications. EBECRYL LEO® 10103can be used for low migration over print varnishes along with flexographic and offset inks in the entire color range, including white. EBECRYL LEO® 10103 at 10-20% by weight in a coating or ink can provide a good balance of surface and through cure.

EBECRYL® 113 is a low odor monofunctional acrylated aliphatic epoxy that can be used as a reactive diluent in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curing formulations. EBECRYL® 113 is a good diluent for a variety of acrylated oligomers. In formulations, it can lower Tg, increase flexibility and improve adhesion to plastics.

EBECRYL® 110 is a monofunctional reactive diluent characterized by low viscosity and relatively low odor. EBECRYL® 110 is used in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) cured coatings to control viscosity and increase flexibility.

EBECRYL® 114 is a monofunctional reactive diluent characterized by low viscosity and relatively low odor. EBECRYL® 114 is used in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) cured coatings and inks to control viscosity and increase adhesion and flexibility.

EBECRYL® 1140 is used in radiation-curable coatings. It functions as a binder and resin in CASE ingredients.

EBECRYL® 117 is a low odor aliphatic mono-functional diluting acrylate. It is recommended for use in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable coatings to increase flexibility and improve adhesion.

EBECRYL® 118 is an aromatic monofunctional acrylate that can be used as a reactive diluent in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curing formulations. EBECRYL® 118 is a good diluent for a variety of acrylated oligomers. In formulations, it can lower Tg and increase flexibility of the UV/EB cured polymer while maintaining strength and toughness and improving substrate adhesion.

EBECRYL® 1200 is an acrylate functional acrylic resin supplied in 45% by weight of butyl acetate. Upon evaporation of the solvent, films of EBECRYL® 1200 are physically dry and tack-free and after UV/EB curing are hard and chemical resistant without embrittlement. The viscosity and cured properties can be adjusted with the addition of reactive diluents such as 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), isobornyl acrylate (IBOA), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), and tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA). A suitable photoinitiator must be added for polymerization with UV energy

EBECRYL® 1290 is a hexafunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate that exhibits very fast cure response when exposed to ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB). Cured films of EBECRYL® 1290 demonstrate outstanding hardness, scratch and abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and are resistant to yellowing.

EBECRYL® 1258 is a trifunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate diluted 20% by weight with hydroxypropylmethacrylate (HPMA) that does not contain any intentionally added organic tin compounds, heavy metals, hydroquinone (HQ) or methyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ). (Please note that quinones are present in many raw materials, so the overall quinone content is reduced, but not zero in EBECRYL® 1258.) Films of EBECRYL® 1258 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) combine abrasion resistance, flexibility, and adhesion with resistance to yellowing.

EBECRYL®1291 is a hexafunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate oligomer which provides extremely fast cure response when exposed to ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB). Cured films of EBECRYL®1291 exhibit high hardness, abrasion and solvent resistance.

EBECRYL® 130 is a cyclic aliphatic diacrylate useful as a reactive diluent in UV (ultraviolet) or EB (electron beam) curable coatings and inks. EBECRYL® 130 can impart a combination of hardness, toughness, and resiliency coupled with improved adhesion properties on various substrates. EBECRYL® 130 can also significantly increase the Tg of cured polymers. EBECRYL® 130 is particularly useful for scratch resistant coatings an plastics and as a pigment grinding vehicle for UV inkjet inks.

EBECRYL® 1300 is designed as the letdown oligomer for UV thermoformable ink applications, and should be used in conjunction with the pigment grind oligomer, EBECRYL® 8413. EBECRYL® 1300 exhibits good adhesion promoting properties. When used together with EBECRYL® 8413, non-blocking thermoformable inks can be developed. These thermoformable inks demonstrate scratch and temperature resistance, as well as excellent adhesion to a variety of plastic substrates without the necessity of corona discharge or flame pretreatment.

EBECRYL® 1360 is a silicone hexaacrylate that improves slip, substrate wetting and coating flow and leveling when used as an additive in formulations cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB). Cured films containing EBECRYL® 1360 will exhibit a smooth, tack free surface, with good blocking resistance. Because of its acrylate functionality, the silicone cures into the polymeric backbone, thus eliminating the migration that free silicones often display in coatings. EBECRYL® 1360 is particularly effective in EB cured formulations.

EBECRYL® 1365 is a hexa-functional silicone modified urethane acrylate diluted in 50% of EBECRYL® 160. EBECRYL® 1365 can be used to prepare UV/EB curable coatings with low surface energy providing anti-stain and easy-to-clean properties. Additionally EBECRYL® 1365 can be used as a processing agent in matt and excimer curable formulations, facilitating a uniform film creation which in turn significantly increases the process robustness.
