EBECRYL® 3203

EBECRYL® 3203 is a low viscosity modified Bisphenol-A based epoxy acrylate oligomer that provides exceptional pigment wetting properties for black and white inorganic pigments and fillers. EBECRYL® 3203 gives a fast cure response when formulated with other oligomers cured via ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB). EBECRYL® 3203 is used for the preparation of high pigment loading pigment pastes produced using a 3-roll mill or bead mill.

Performance Highlights

EBECRYL® 3203 is characterized by:

  • Low viscosity
  • Excellent pigment wetting properties

UV/EB curable formulated products containing EBECRYL® 3203 are characterized by:

  • Good cure response

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

Product Applications

High loading pigment paste formulations prepared using EBECRYL® 3203 are used in the production of UV/EB curable inks intended for use primarily in flexography, gravure and UV ink-jet. The ability to produce highly loaded pigment pastes allows the ink formulator more latitude by using less pigment paste to achieve a given optical density.

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.
