EBECRYL® 8414

EBECRYL® 8414 is a urethane acrylate developed for liquid energy curable thermoforming inks. Flexographic inks made with EBECRYL® 8414 exhibit excellent thermoformability with draws up to 1" without cracking, blistering, separation or loss of adhesion. This medium viscosity oligomer has good pigment wetting capability and ink performance.

Performance Highlights

EBECRYL® 8414 is characterized by:

  • Excellent thermoformability; 150% elongation at break
  • Medium viscosity
  • Good ink rheology
  • Good pigment wetting properties
  • Good reactivity

UV/EB cured thermoformable inks based on EBECRYL® 8414 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • Excellent thermoformability
  • Good adhesion to a variety of corona treated non-porous substrates including:
  • PET-G (glycol modified polyethylene terephthalate)
  • PVC (polyvinylchloride)
  • Polycarbonate
  • Polyethylene

The actual properties of the final cured formulations also depend on the selection of other formulation components such as reactive diluents, additives and photo initiators.

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.
