EBECRYL® 1859

EBECRYL® 1859 is characterized by:

• Medium viscosity (easy handling)
• Low odor
• Excellent pigment wetting (also for carbon black)
• High reactivity
• Excellent ink water balance

Good compatibility with other acrylatesUV/EB offset lithographic inks based on EBECRYL® 1859 are characterized by the following performance properties:

• Good flow
• High gloss
• Stable ink water emulsion ensuring constant ink transfer
• Reduced misting
• Reduced dot gain
• High cure speed

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 photo initiators.

• EBECRYL® 1859 is recommended for commercial applications using high speed sheetfed offset on paper and board substrates.
• It can also be used in other wet or dry offset inks, and in other applications such as UV/EB flexographic and screen inks.

• 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.
• Product can develop a very thin white film in container when cold, recommended is to heat the product slightly prior to using in order for the thin white layer to disappear.
