EBECRYL® 3720-HD20

EBECRYL® 3720-HD20 is the bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate, EBECRYL 3720, diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) to provide a lower viscosity, easier handling product. EBECRYL 3720-HD20 exhibits light color and fast cure response. Films of EBECRYL 3720-HD20 cured via ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss, surface hardness, and superior chemical resistance.

Ebecryl 3720-hd20 - Viscosity Reduction With Reactive Diluents

EBECRYL® 3720-HD20 - Technical Data - 1

Graph I shows the viscosity reduction of ebecryl 3720-hd20 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 or ink, 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.
