EBECRYL® 8896

EBECRYL® 8896 is a revolutionary aliphatic urethane acrylate designed for applications requiring haptic properties (e.g. “soft touch/feel”). Films of EBECRYL® 8896 cured via exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) are tough, flexible, and resistant to yellowing. EBECRYL® 8896 is compatible with variety of fillers, pigments, waxes, and polymeric beads allowing formulator maximum formulating latitude to create a number of haptic properties ranging from a velvety/silky feel to EBECRYL® 8896’s intrinsic rubbery feel.

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.
