EBECRYL® 150

EBECRYL® 150 is characterized by:

• High reactivity
• Moderate viscosity
• High refractive index

UV/EB curable formulated products containing EBECRYL® 150 are characterized by:

• Hardness
• Chemical resistance
• Good adhesion
• Improved wetting

The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of other formulation components such as oligomers, additives and photoinitiators.

EBECRYL® 150 is recommended as a reactive diluent for UV/EB cured offset inks, silk screen inks, overprint varnishes and coatings. Effective levels of EBECRYL® 150 typically range from 10% to 50% depending on the application.

EBECRYL® 150 is recommended for use in:

• Printing inks
• Low viscosity, high refractive index coatings

• Printing inks 
• Low viscosity,  high refractive index coatings

Dilution effect of ebecryl 150 on viscous oligomers

• Care should be taken not to expose the product to high temperature conditions, direct sunlight, ignition sources, oxidizing agents, alkalis or acids.
• This might cause uncontrollable polymerization of the product with the generation of heat.
• Storage and handling should be in stainless steel, amber glass, amber polyethylene or baked phenolic lined containers.
• Procedures that remove or displace oxygen from the material should be avoided.
• Do not store this material under an oxygen free atmosphere.
• Dry air is recommended to displace material removed from the container.
• Wash thoroughly after handling.
• Keep container tightly closed.
• Use with adequate ventilation.
