EBECRYL® 7100

EBECRYL® 7100 is an acrylated amine primarily used as a hydrogen donor, or photoactivator, in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. When used in formulations in combination with a photosensitizer (e.g. benzophenone), EBECRYL® 7100 provides rapid UV cure response in air by mitigating the effects of oxygen inhibition at the coating or ink surface. Unlike conventional tertiary amines such as N-methyldiethanolamine, EBECRYL® 7100 reacts to become part of the UV cured polymer, resulting in lower residual odor and improved moisture resistance. EBECRYL® 7100 also promotes adhesion to plastic substrates and lowers viscosity when used as a primary component in UV adhesives and coatings.

Performance Highlights

EBECRYL® 7100 is characterized by:

  • Low viscosity
  • Light color
  • Improved stability vs. conventional tertiary amines
  • Excellent pigment wetting

 

UV/EB cured products based on EBECRYL® 7100 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • Excellent UV cure response
  • Reduced odor
  • Improved moisture resistance
  • No surface migration of amine
  • High gloss
  • Good adhesion to plastics (e.g. treated polyester, ABS, polycarbonate and polyphenylene oxide)

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

Technical Details & Test Data

Viscosity Reduction

Graph l - EBECRYL® 7100 - Viscosity reduction with reactive diluents

 

 - 1

 

Graph l shows the viscosity reduction of EBECRYL® 7100 with octyl/decyl acrylate (ODA-N), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), and tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA). 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, thus avoiding solvent emissions. The specific reactive diluents used will influence performance properties such as hardness and flexibility. EBECRYL® 7100 can also be used as a reactive diluent for more viscous acrylated oligomers.

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.
