NPG(PO)2DA

NPG(PO)2DA is useful as a reactive diluent in formulating ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings and inks. NPG(PO)2DA provides efficient viscosity reduction of viscous resins, good flow and wetting, and greater flexibility than other common difunctional acrylate diluents.

Technical Details & Test Data

Performance Highlights

NPG(PO)2DA is characterized by:
• Low viscosity
• Light color
• Low surface tension
• Reduced skin irritation potential
• Good pigment wetting
UV/EB curable coatings and inks containing NPG(PO)2DA typically demonstrate:
• Increased flexibility
• Improved flow and wetting
• Good cure speed without brittleness
• Improved adhesion to plastic substrates
The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of the formulation components such as oligomers, additives and photoinitiators.

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.
