EBECRYL® 230

EBECRYL® 230 is an aliphatic urethane diacrylate characterized by its light color and low viscosity. Films of EBECRYL 230 cured via exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) are soft and flexible, and are resistant to yellowing. EBECRYL 230 is often used as a modifier to improve the flexibility of finished formulations.

Product Benefits

EBECRYL® 230 is characterized by:

  • Light color
  • Low viscosity

UV/EB cured products containing EBECRYL® 230 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • Improved flexibility
  • Non-yellowing

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

EBECRYL® 230 - VISCOSITY REDUCTION WITH REACTIVE DILUENTS

EBECRYL® 230 - Technical Data - 1

Graph I shows the viscosity reduction of EBECRYL® 230 with 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA)  isobornyl acrylate (IBOA), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) , and tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA). Although viscosity reduction can be achieved with non-reactive solvents, reactive diluents are preferred because they are essentially 100 percent converted during UV/EB exposure to form a part of the coating or ink, thus reducing solvent emissions. The specific reactive diluents used will influence performance properties such as hardness and flexibility.

Storage & Handling

Storage 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.
