Performance Highlights

UV/EB cured coatings based on EBECRYL® 4101 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • High flexibility
  • Good chemical and mechanical resistance properties

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

Physical Form
Formulating Information

Depending on the application, the coating can be adjusted to application viscosity using standard reactive diluents such as dipropylene glycol diacrylate (DPGDA) of allnex, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) of allnex, isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) of allnex, and trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) of allnex or solvents such as butyl acetate. Because of the many potential combinations with reactive diluents and solvents compatibility must be tested in each individual case. UV curing of coatings formulated with EBECRYL® 4101 requires the addition of standard commercial photoinitiators. Typical levels are 4 - 6%, though this may vary to meet the reactivity requirements of the application. In the case of EB curing, a low oxygen atmosphere must be ensured to avoid surface inhibition. Lower gloss coatings can be produced using standard matting agents. Care should be taken with respect to sedimentation which may cause the coating to gel prematurely.

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.
