EBECRYL® 50

EBECRYL® 50 is the tetraacrylate ester of 5 mole ethoxylated pentaerythritol. It is a low viscosity diluting oligomer characterized by low odor and light color. EBECRYL® 50 provides fast cure response in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) cured coatings and inks. Besides its high reactivity, EBECRYL® 50 improves the hardness and solvent resistance of cured coatings and inks. EBECRYL® 50 is particularly useful in offset inks, flexo inks and overprint varnishes.

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.
