EBECRYL® 893

• Resistance to yellowing upon cure and over time
• Low viscosity
• Good cure response
• Good chemical and solvent resistance

EBECRYL® 893 is recommended for use in UV curable field applied concrete and VCT coatings.

Graph I shows the viscosity reduction of EBECRYL® 893 with several of the recommended diluents for concrete and VCT coatings: dipropylene glycol diacrylate (DPGDA), propoxylated neopentyl glycol diacrylate (NPG(PO)2DA), ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPEOTA), and EBECRYL® 113. 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.
