Ebecryl®1606 is characterized by :

• Light color
• Low odor
• Fast cure response

UV/EB cured products based on Ebecryl®1606 are characterized by the following performance properties :

• High gloss
• High surface hardness
• Good solvent resistance

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

Formulated UV/EB curable products containing Ebecryl®1606 may be applied by lithographic, screen, gravure, direct or reverse roll, and curtain coating methods Ebecryl®1606 is recommended for use in :

• Coatings for wood, cardboard, chipboard and paper
• Paper upgrading

• EBECRYL®1606 can be diluted with reactive monomers such as trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA)(1), tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA)¹, 1,6 hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA)¹ and oligotriacrylate (OTA 480)¹. The specific reactive diluent(s) used will influence performance properties such as hardness and flexibility.
• ¹) TMPTA, TPGDA, HDDA and OTA 480 are produced by Allnex
