Viscosity Reduction
- EBECRYL® 3418 can be combined with reactive diluents such as dipropylene glycol diacrylate (DPGDA) 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA)(1), isobornyl acrylate (IBOA), and trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA).
- 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 avoiding solvent emissions.
- The specific reactive diluents used will influence performance properties such as hardness and flexibility.
- Stress-strain Properties
Graph I compares the stress-strain curves of UV cured free films of EBECRYL® 3418 with the modified bisphenol A epoxy epoxy acylate oligomers, EBECRYL® 3500 and EBECRYL® 3708. For proper comparison, the EBECRYL® 3500 and EBECRYL 3708 were combined with 35% by weight DPGDA.

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.
