EBECRYL® 246 is characterized by:
- No intentionally added tin, heavy metals*, or quinones
- Very light color
- Low odor
- High viscosity
UV/EB cured products containing EBECRYL 246 are characterized by the following performance properties:
- Regulation friendly for tin, heavy metals, and quinones
- Good abrasion resistance
- Excellent flexibility
- Exceptional toughness
- 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.
Applications & Uses

- Product Applications
Formulated UV/EB curable products containing EBECRYL® 246 may be applied via brush, roller, direct or reverse roll, offset gravure, metering rod, slot die, knife over roll, air knife, curtain, immersion and spin coating methods.
EBECRYL® 246 is recommended for use:
- In applications that must meet regulations for tin, heavy metal, and quinone content
- In abrasion resistant coatings for flexible substrates such as vinyl and other plastics
- In laminating adhesives
- As a modifying oligomer to increase flexibility

Technical Details & Test Data
- Viscosity Reduction
Graph I shows the viscosity reduction of EBECRYL® 246 with 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) product of allnex, isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) product of allnex, trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) product of allnex, and tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) product of allnex. 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. Graph II illustrates the change in viscosity of EBECRYL® 246 with increasing temperature.
