EBECRYL® 350

EBECRYL® 350 is a silicone diacrylate that improves slip, substrate wetting, and coating flow and leveling when used as an additive in formulations cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB). Cured films containing EBECRYL® 350 will exhibit a smooth, tack free surface, with good blocking resistance. Because of its acrylate functionality, the silicone cures into the polymeric backbone, thus eliminating the migration that free silicones often display in coatings.

Performance Highlights

EBECRYL® 350 is characterized by:

  • Low surface tension
  • Low viscosity
  • Good compatibility with other acrylates
  • Non-migratory

UV/EB cured products based on EBECRYL® 350 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • Low COF, increased slip
  • Resistance to blocking
  • High gloss
  • Good mar resistance

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

Product Applications

Formulated UV/EB curable products containing EBECRYL® 350 may be applied via direct or reverse roll, offset gravure, metering rod, slot die, knife over roll, air knife, immersion and spin coating methods as well as screen printing. EBECRYL® 350 is recommended for use in:

  • Overprint varnishes
  • Clear coatings on paper, plastics and metal
  • Release coatings

Usage levels between 0.5% and 2.0% by weight of the total formulation are generally sufficient to provide satisfactory slip.

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.
