EBECRYL® TMPTMA

EBECRYL® TMPTMA is a trifunctional methacrylate monomer that will readily copolymerize with other unsaturated compounds using radical curing mechanisms. Polymerization can be accomplished thermally using peroxide or azo type radical initiators, with ultraviolet (UV) or visible light using radical photoinitiators, or with high energy electrons (EB). EBECRYL® TMPTMA is typically copolymerized with other unsaturated compounds such as vinyl, methacrylate and acrylate functional materials to increase crosslinking and improve cured polymer properties such as hardness, chemical resistance and thermal resistance.

Features & Benefits

Materials Features
Performance Highlights

EBECRYL® TMPTMA is characterized by:

  • Low color
  • Low viscosity
  • Low volatility

UV/EB curable formulated products containing EBECRYL® TMPTMA are characterized by:

  • High crosslink density
  • Chemical resistance
  • Hardness
  • High tensile strength
  • Thermal resistance

The actual properties of cured products also depend on the selection of other formulation components such as co-reactants, additives and 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.
