EBECRYL® 286

EBECRYL® 286 is an aliphatic urethane diacrylate oligomer diluted 25% with tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) monomer. Films of EBECRYL® 286 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit excellent exterior durability, toughness, and flexibility, as well as the non-yellowing properties typical of an aliphatic urethane.

Performance Highlights

EBECRYL® 286 is characterized by:

  • Light color

UV/EB cured products containing EBECRYL® 286 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • Good flexibility
  • Toughness
  • Excellent exterior durability
  • Non-yellowing

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

Viscosity vs % Added Reactive Diluent

EBECRYL® 286 Viscosity Reduction With Reactive Diluents:

EBECRYL® 286

 

Viscosity Reduction:

  • Graph shows the viscosity reduction of EBECRYL® 286 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, 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.
