VANCRYL® 927 is a medium glass transition temperature acrylic emulsion for the graphic arts industry. Excellent gloss can be obtained by utilizing VANCRYL® 927 in inks and coatings. Its film formation properties, coupled with its rapid water release, result in very fast drying. It is suitable for both flexographic and gravure printing on paper substrates. VANCRYL® 927 has excellent compatibility with pigment dispersions and alcohols. Inks formulated with VANCRYL® 927 have good transfer, printability, and resolubility for high-quality printing on various paper substrates (including metalized paper) and aluminum foil. VANCRYL® 927 can also be formulated as a high gloss OPV that will very quickly develop water, oil, and scuff resistance.

EBECRYL® P116 HP is a photoinitiator used in radiation cure applications. It is compatible with wood substrates.

TMPEOTA is a reactive diluent commonly used in ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) energy curable coatings and inks. TMPEOTA can be used to impart crosslinking to energy curable coatings and inks while maintaining a degree of flexibility and toughness. Of the common triacrylate diluents used in energy curable formulations, TMPEOTA exhibits the highest reactivity and the greatest viscosity reduction of oligomers.

EBECRYL® 3720-TM20 is the bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate, EBECRYL 3720, diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA)(1) to provide a lower viscosity, easier handling product. EBECRYL® 3720-TM20 exhibits fast cure response and light color. Films of EBECRYL 3720-TM20 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss and surface hardness, and excellent chemical resistance.

EBECRYL® P39 is a polymeric benzophenone derivative that functions as the photosensitizer in hydrogen abstraction type radical photoinitiator systems. EBECRYL® P39 has been designed for use in the formulation of UV coatings that exhibit little or no odor after curing. Recommended levels are from 8 to 10% based on total formulation. EBECRYL® P39 should be used in combination with amine co-initiators such as EBECRYL® P115 or EBECRYL® 7100, or with amine modified acrylate resins. EBECRYL® P39 is a polymer preparation manufactured in the European Union with (pre)registered monomers/reactants and REACH compliant.

EBECRYL® LEO 10552 is a low viscosity amine modified polyether acrylate oligomer that provides low extractables, low odor and low migration after UV or EB curing. EBECRYL® LEO 10552 is recommended for use in low odor and low migrating UV overprint varnishes (OPV’s) and inks for indirect food packaging applications.

EBECRYL® P104 is an acrylated amine used as a hydrogen donor, or photoactivator, in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. When used in formulations in combination with a photosensitizer (e.g. benzophenone), EBECRYL P104 provides rapid UV cure response in air by mitigating the effects of oxygen inhibition at the coating or ink surface. Recommended levels are from 5 to 15% based on total formulation, usually combined with 3-5% photosensitizer. EBECRYL P104 can be used with EBECRYL P39 (a polymeric benzophenone derivative) for formulations requiring low residual odor.

EBECRYL® 50 is the tetraacrylate ester of 5 mole ethoxylated pentaerythritol. It is a low viscosity diluting oligomer characterized by low odor and light color. EBECRYL® 50 provides fast cure response in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) cured coatings and inks. Besides its high reactivity, EBECRYL® 50 improves the hardness and solvent resistance of cured coatings and inks. EBECRYL® 50 is particularly useful in offset inks, flexo inks and overprint varnishes.

EBECRYL® 367 is a polyester acrylate, developed to improve the adhesion of inks and varnishes onto plastics.

EBECRYL® 860 is an epoxidized soya oil acrylate especially suited to improving the flow and leveling of ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable inks and coatings. Pigment wetting and adhesion are often enhanced when EBECRYL® 860 is used as a modifier in inks and clear or pigmented coatings on paper and metal.

EBECRYL® 3503 is the modified diacrylate ester of a bisphenol A based epoxy resin diluted ~20% by weight with the reactive diluent propoxylated glycerol triacrylate (OTA-480)(1). It is designed primarily for use in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable formulations. EBECRYL® 3503 is light in color with high UV/EB reactivity, and exhibits good wetting of pigments, matting agents and substrates compared to unmodified epoxy acrylates. Cured films based on EBECRYL® 3503 will typically demonstrate high gloss and hardness, and good chemical resistance.

CYMEL® U-1051 is a partially iso-butylated urea resin supplied in a mixture of iso-butanol and xylene. It has wide compatibility with other film formers and is useful in fast curing industrial baking finishes and low temperature curing conversion varnishes.

EBECRYL® P115 is a copolymerizable amine used as a hydrogen donor, or photoactivator, in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. When used in formulations in combination with a photosensitizer (e.g. benzophenone), EBECRYL® P115 provides rapid UV cure response in air by mitigating the effects of oxygen inhibition at the coating or ink surface. Recommended levels are from 5 to 15% based on the total formulation, usually combined with 3-5% photosensitizer. EBECRYL® P115 can be used with EBECRYL® P39 (1) (a polymeric benzophenone derivative) to produce UV cured coatings and inks with low residual odor.

EBECRYL® LEO 10101 is a self-curing multifunctional acrylate enabling the UV curing of printing inks and coatings, not requiring additional photoinitiator, which reduces the risk of migration in indirect food contact applications. EBECRYL® LEO 10101 is specifically developed for making high reactive flexo inks with good flow and low migration. EBECRYL® LEO 10101 can be used for different colors also for white. It is recommended to use 20-30% EBECRYL® LEO 10101 in an ink or coating to reach a correct surface and through cure.
