EBECRYL® 8314

EBECRYL® 8314 is characterized by:

• Light color
• Low odor
• Moderate viscosity
• < 15% haze after Taber abrasion (100 cycles, CS10F, 500 g)

UV/EB cured products containing EBECRYL® 8314 are characterized by the following performance properties:

• Outstanding toughness
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Excellent weatherability
• Thermoformable after cure (small to medium draws)
• Good adhesion
• Good hardness
• Flexibility
• Non-yellowing

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

Formulated UV/EB curable products containing EBECRYL® 8314 may be applied via direct or reverse roll, offset gravure, metering rod, slot die, knife over roll, air knife, curtain, immersion and spin coating methods, as well as screen printing.

EBECRYL® 8314 is recommended for use in:

• Automotive paint protection films
• Automotive OEM or Re-finish
• Coatings for plastic and wood requiring excellent exterior durability
• Printed electronics
• Post-formable coatings for plastic, metallized plastic, metal, and conduit substrates
• Optical coatings
• Non-yellowing topcoats for wood
• Exterior durable coatings

EBECRYL® 8314 - Viscosity Reduction With Reactive Diluents:

• Graph shows the viscosity reduction of EBECRYL® 8314 with 1,6- hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) , isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) and 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.

• 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.
