EBECRYL® 3605

EBECRYL® 3605 is a partially acrylated ester of a bisphenol A type epoxy resin. It contains both acrylate and epoxy functionalities. This resin may be cured by exposure to either ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) in conjunction with conventional epoxy curing. It may also be cured with UV radiation using a mixed photoinitiator system consisting of free radical and cationic photoinitiators. Ebecryl®3605 has been developed for applications requiring improved coating performance properties over those obtainable with conventional UV/EB curing alone.

Performance Highlights
  • EBECRYL® 3605 is characterized by :
    • Both epoxy and acrylate functionalities
    • Good cure response
  • UV/EB cured products based on EBECRYL® 3605 are characterized by the following performance properties :
    • High gloss finish
    • Good solvent resistance
    • Good adhesion to metals and other non-porous substrates
    • Improved flexibility over other epoxy acrylates
  • The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of the other formulation components, such as reactive diluent(s), additives and photo-initiators.

Technical Details & Test Data

Technical Data

EBECRYL® 3605 - Technical Information - 1

The graph shows the viscosity reduction of Ebecryl®3605 as a function of the concentration of different monomers.

Viscosity Reduction
  • Ebecryl®3605 can be diluted with reactive monomers such as 1,6 hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA)², trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA)², tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA)², oligotriacrylate (OTA 480)² and octyl/decyl acrylate (ODA)².
  • The specific reactive diluent(s) used will influence performance properties such as hardness and flexibility.
  • ² HDDA, TMPTA, TPGDA, OTA 480 and ODA are produced by Allnex.
