EBECRYL® 53

EBECRYL® 53 is a purified grade of OTA 480, especially developed for formulating ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable printing inks and overprint varnishes for food packaging applications. The purification process removes impurities that are potential sources for odor and extractables in cured products.

Performance Highlights

EBECRYL®53 is characterized by:

  • Low viscosity
  • Light color
  • Very Low odor
  • Excellent reduction of oligomer viscosity
  • Low irritancy
  • Good pigment wetting

 

UV/EB curable formulated products containing EBECRYL®53 are characterized by:

  • Good cure response
  • Good flexibility
  • Excellent hardness
  • Very low odor
  • The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of other formulation components such as oligomers, additives and photoinitiators.

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.
