Performance Highlights

EBECRYL® LEO 10601 is characterized by:

  • Low epoxy content
  • Low irritancy
  • Compliance with European regulations for food contact applications (SCF L 1-4 Synoptic 7)

UV/EB cured products based on EBECRYL® LEO 10601 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • High gloss
  • Improved flexibility
  • Low extractables
  • Low odor
  • Low migration
  • In UV offset lithography
  1. Good pigment wetting
  2. Improved ink water balance
  3. Good viscosity/tack relationship
  4. Reduced misting
  • In UV flexo
  1. Good pigment wetting (especially for carbon black)
  2. High reactivity
  3. Flexibility

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

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

The recommended storage temperature for EBECRYL® LEO 10601 is 4°C to 40°C (39°F to 104°F). 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. EBECRYL® LEO 10601 should be used within 1 year of receipt. EBECRYL®  LEO 10601 can be diluted with the low extractable, low odor diluting acrylates such as EBECRYL® LEO 10501(1) , EBECRYL® LEO 10502(1) and/or with the amine modified polyether acrylates EBECRYL®  LEO 10551(1) , EBECRYL®  LEO 10552(1) and EBECRYL®  LEO 10553(1) .
