Performance Highlights

EBECRYL® 411 is characterized by:

  • Low viscosity
  • High reactivity

UV/EB cured formulations based on EBECRYL 411 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • Excellent adhesion to various unprimed filmic substrates
  • Good cure response
  •  Enhanced cold water resistance

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 photoinitiators.

Technical Details & Test Data

Viscosity Reduction
  • EBECRYL® 411 can be further diluted with additional DPGDA or other reactive monomers such as 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) ,tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), EBECRYL 40 or EBECRYL 160.
  • The specific reactive diluent(s) used will influence performance properties such as hardness and flexibility.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • The recommended storage temperature range for EBECRYL® 3708 is 4°C to 40°C (39°F to 104°F).
  • 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.
