EBECRYL® 444 is characterized by
- Good wet lithographic behavior
- Fast curing
- Low odor
UV/EB cured formulations based on EBECRYL® 444 are characterized by the following performance properties
- Good adhesion to metals, and paper
The actual properties of UV/EB cured formulations 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® 444 can be further diluted with OTA-480 or other reactive monomers such as, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) or trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA).
- 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 and Handling 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.
