Performance Highlights

Ebecryl®1657 is characterized by :

  • Low irritancy
  • Low odor
  • Good pigment wetting
  • Outstanding lithographic behavior

UV/EB cured products based on Ebecryl®1657 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • Low extractables

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.

Viscosity Reduction
  • Ebecryl®1657 can be diluted with reactive monomers such as trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), oligotriacrylate (OTA 480), tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA), 1,6 hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) and octyl/decyl acrylate (ODA).
  • The specific reactive diluent(s) used will influence performance properties such as hardness and flexibility.
