EBECRYL® MAES

Performance Highlights

EBECRYL® MAES is characterized by:

• Low viscosity
• Low color

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

• Improved adhesion to substrates
• Lowered odor
• Developability in basic etchants

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

The following is a summary of precautions to be taken when handling the product:

• Products of this type can be expected to be eye, respiratory, and skin irritants and have the potential to cause sensitization or other allergic responses.  
• Appropriate precautions should be taken to avoid eye and skin contact and to avoid inhalation of the aerosols or vapors.

• Care should be taken not to expose radiation curable products to temperatures exceeding 40°C for prolonged periods or to direct sunlight.  This might cause uncontrollable polymerization of the product with generation of heat.
• Storage and handling should be in stainless steel, amber glass, amber polyethylene or baked phenolic lined containers.  Do not store this material under an oxygen free atmosphere.  Use dry air to displace material removed from the container.  This material should not be stored for more than 2 years.
