EBECRYL® 810

EBECRYL® 810 is characterized by:

• Low viscosity
• Good cure response

UV/EB cured products containing EBECRYL® 810 are characterized by the following performance properties:

• Good chemical resistance
• Toughness and adhesion
• High surface hardness

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

Formulated UV/EB curable products containing EBECRYL® 810 may be applied via direct or reverse roll, offset gravure, metering rod, slot die, knife over roll, air knife, curtain, immersion, vacuum, spin and spray coating methods, as well as flexographic printing.

EBECRYL® 810 is recommended for:

• Coatings for paper, wood and plastics
• Paper upgrading
• Vacuum applied coatings
• Flexographic inks
• EB cure paper-foil laminating adhesives
• Solventless spray and flow coater applications

EBECRYL® 810 - Viscosity Reduction With Reactive Diluents:

Viscosity Reduction: 

• Graph shows the viscosity reduction of EBECRYL® 810 with 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), octyl/decyl acrylate (ODA-N) , propoxylated glycerol triacrylate (OTA-480), 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 or ink, thus reducing solvent emissions.
• The specific reactive diluents used will influence performance properties such as hardness and flexibility.

• 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.
