- Performance Highlights
EBECRYL® 40 is characterized by:
- Light color
- Low viscosity
- Low odor
- Good cure response
UV/EB cured products based on EBECRYL® 40 are characterized by the following performance properties:
- High surface hardness
- Good solvent resistance
- Low residual odor
- Reduced shrinkage
The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of the other formulation components, such as reactive diluents, additives, and photoinitiators.

- Product Applications
EBECRYL® 40 is commonly used as a diluting reactive oligomer in UV/EB cured coatings and inks. Effective levels of EBECRYL® 40 typically range from 10% to 50% depending on the application. In lithographic inks and varnishes it is quite effective in adjusting viscosity while maintaining or improving cure response and physical properties. EBECRYL® 40 is recommended for:
- Offset inks
- Overprint varnishes
- Coatings on paper, plastics
- Paper upgrading
- Reducing curl on flexible substrates

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.
