EBECRYL® 1871

EBECRYL® 1871 is a hexafunctional polyester acrylate oligomer that provides high reactivity and the proper ink-water balance necessary for good lithographic printing. Lithographic inks based on EBECRYL® 1871 display excellent rheological properties ensuring good ink transfer from the printing plate to the blanket and then to the substrate, combined with good dot definition. EBECRYL® 1871 has been specifically developed to formulate low migration UV/EB curable inks for indirect food contact applications.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Conditions
  • 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.
