EBECRYL® 4381 is a unsaturated polyester diluted with 30% dipropyleneglycol diacrylate (DPGDA)(1). Coatings based on EBECRYL® 4381 are characterized by good hardness and high gloss

EBECRYL® 445 is a reactive chlorinated polyester resin diluted 40% with the reactive diluent trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA)(1). EBECRYL 445 is not based on bisphenol A raw materials, and is tin-free. EBECRYL 445 exhibits good lithographic behavior and pigment wetting properties, and fast cure response in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. Cured films of EBECRYL 445 display good adhesion to metals, and paper.

EBECRYL® 452 is a low viscosity polyester acrylate oligomer that exhibits exceptional pigment wetting properties making it an ideal pigment grinding resin. EBECRYL® 452 also gives a fast cure response when formulated with other oligomers and cured via ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB). EBECRYL® 452 is used for the preparation of highly loaded pigment pastes produced using 3-roll or bead mills. EBECRYL® 452 can be used for grinding all process colors and spot colors.

EBECRYL® 4859 is a difunctional aliphatic urethane methacrylate 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 4859.) Due to a low intrinsic viscosity, EBECRYL 4859 offers ease of formulating in energy curable systems that are low in viscosity with high oligomer content. Films of EBECRYL 4859 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit good hardness, optically clarity, low color and good impact resistance.

EBECRYL® 524 is an acid-modified polyester resin diluted 30% by weight with the reactive diluent 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA). It exhibits very low color and moderate acid value. EBECRYL 524 is used as the primary or modifying oligomer in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable formulations to increase adhesion to a variety of substrates including paper, plastics and metal. It is particularly useful in UV/EB laminating adhesives.

EBECRYL® 605 is a bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate diluted approximately 27% by weight with the reactive diluent tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) to provide a lower viscosity, easier handling product. EBECRYL 605 exhibits light color and fast cure response. Films of EBECRYL 605 cured via ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss, surface hardness and superior chemical resistance.

EBECRYL® 605/20 is the bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate, EBECRYL 600, diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) (1) to provide a lower viscosity, easier handling product. EBECRYL® 605/20 exhibits light color and fast cure response. Films of EBECRYL® 605/20 cured via ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss, surface hardness, and the superior chemical resistance typical of an epoxy resin.

EBECRYL® 608 is a bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate diluted approximately 27% by weight with the reactive diluent OTA- 480, propoxylated glycerol triacrylate. EBECRYL® 608 exhibits light color and very fast cure response. Films of EBECRYL® 608 cured via exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high surface hardness and gloss, low residual odor and excellent chemical resistance.

EBECRYL® 629 is an acrylated epoxy novolac diluted with the reactive diluents trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). When cured via ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB), EBECRYL® 629 exhibits high surface hardness, good heat resistance, low shrinkage, and good adhesion to metal, particularly copper. This resin was specifically designed for UV cure solder resist applications.

EBECRYL® 657 is a polyester tetraacrylate developed specifically for ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) cured lithographic ink formulations. EBECRYL 657 provides the proper hydrophilic-lipophilic balance necessary for lithography, good pigment wetting, and low misting. It can be blended with epoxy acrylates or EBECRYL 436 or EBECRYL 438 to increase cure speed.

EBECRYL® 6603 is an aromatic urethane acrylate diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent isobornyl acrylate (IBOA). Films of EBECRYL® 6603 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or an electron beam (EB) feature good toughness, flexibility and abrasion resistance. EBECRYL® 6603 is useful as a modifier for harder resins such as epoxy acrylates.

EBECRYL® 7110 is an acrylated amine primarily used as a hydrogen donor, or photoactivator, in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. When used in formulations in combination with a photosensitizer (e.g. benzophenone), EBECRYL® 7110provides rapid UV cure response in air by mitigating the effects of oxygen inhibition at the coating or ink surface. Unlike conventional tertiary amines such as N-methyldiethanolamine, EBECRYL® 7110 reacts to become part of the UV cured polymer, resulting in lower residual odor and improved moisture resistance. EBECRYL® 7110 also promotes adhesion to plastic substrates and lowers viscosity when used as a primary component in UV adhesives and coatings.

EBECRYL® 740/40TP is an acrylic oligomer diluted with 40% tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA). This resin is designed to provide improved adhesion to difficult substrates.

EBECRYL® 80 is an amine modified polyether tetraacrylate that exhibits relatively low viscosity and exceptionally fast cure via exposure to ultraviolet light (UV). Films of EBECRYL® 80 cured by UV or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss, good solvent resistance and low residual odor. EBECRYL 80 is especially suited for fast curing UV overprint varnishes, and due to its low viscosity and good pigment wetting characteristics, is also recommended for UV flexo inks.

EBECRYL® 811 is an ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable polyester acrylate for either wet or dry offset printing on plastic substrates. Inks made using EBECRYL® 811 obtain excellent adhesion to calendered vinyl, polystyrene, polyolefins, polycarbonate and PVC. The water balance of this product allows inks based upon it to be run on press with low amounts of fountain solution: a key parameter for printing on non-absorbent substrates.
