EBECRYL® 436 is a reactive chlorinated polyester resin diluted 40% with the reactive diluent trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA)(1). EBECRYL® 436 exhibits good lithographic behavior and pigment wetting properties, and fast cure response in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. Cured films of EBECRYL® 436 display good adhesion to metals, plastics and paper.

EBECRYL® 8701 is an aliphatic urethane triacrylate designed to bridge the gap between high surface hardness and excellent outdoor durability. EBECRYL® 8701 can be used in applications requiring a combination of hardness, increased Tg, chemical resistance, and outdoor durability. Films ofEBECRYL® 8701 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit a unique combination of surface hardness and outdoor durability typically not found in one molecule. Over time, EBECRYL® 8701 may crystallize to a waxy solid form.

EBECRYL® 8808 is an undiluted aliphatic urethane diacrylate. Since the oligomer is undiluted, more formulating latitude is possible. Films of EBECRYL® 8808 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit excellent exterior durability, toughness, and resistance to yellowing.

EBECRYL® 4100 is an undiluted aliphatic urethane acrylate designed for coatings on wood, cork, furniture, paper, parquet, and film.

EBECRYL® LEO 10553 is a low viscosity polymeric amine modified polyether acrylate that provides low extractables, low odor and low migration and after UV or EB curing. EBECRYL® LEO 10553 is recommended for use in low odor and low migrating UV overprint varnishes (OPV’s) and inks for indirect food packaging applications.

EBECRYL® 889 is an energy curable polyester acrylate for publication inks. EBECRYL® 889 provides good pigment wetting and color development for process color inks. Inks made with EBECRYL® 889 exhibit good adhesion to super- calendared paper, good ink transfer and excellent printability.

VANCRYL® 65 is a medium molecular weight solid acrylic resin that is soluble in alkaline water solutions. Ammonia or other bases may be used as neutralizing agents. Co-solvents such as isopropanol are not required in making the solution, thus facilitating the preparation of low VOC inks and coatings. VANCRYL® 65 provides outstanding properties for high-solids gravure inks and waterborne clear overprint varnishes. The lower viscosity characteristics in solution of VANCRYL 65 allow the preparation of high solids inks and coatings, where high gloss and rapid drying are essential. Coatings prepared with VANCRYL® 65 have high gloss, scuff resistance, hardness, and excellent resolubility. VANCRYL® 65 is compatible with most acrylic and maleic resins. VANCRYL® 65 is also effective as a protective colloid in the production of styrene acrylic copolymer emulsions.

EBECRYL® 810 is a polyester tetraacrylate that exhibits low viscosity and good cure response. Films of EBECRYL 810 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate surface hardness, chemical resistance and generally good adhesion. EBECRYL® 810 is particularly suited to application methods requiring low viscosity such as solventless spray and vacuum coating.

EBECRYL® 40 is a tetrafunctional polyether acrylate characterized by low viscosity, mild odor and light color. When formulated with acrylate oligomers, EBECRYL® 40 provides fast cure response in ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings and inks. Besides its high reactivity, EBECRYL® 40 improves the hardness and solvent resistance of cured inks and coatings. EBECRYL 40 is particularly recommended for lithographic offset inks, overprint varnishes and paper upgrading.

UCECOAT® 7891 is a high performance acrylated polyurethane dispersion specifically developed for UV curable field applied matte wood and VCT (vinyl composition tile) floor coatings. UCECOAT® 7891 allows for the development of low gloss formulations without the use of silicas or other particles. This results in formulations with better shelf life, since the settling of particles is no longer a concern. If very low gloss formulations are desired, silica can be used at very low levels to achieve this. The very low level of silica also translates into better formulation stability. Floor coatings based on UCECOAT® 7891 exhibit a good balance of flexibility and hardness, thus providing good adhesion and coin scuff. Excellent solvent and chemical resistance are also provided through use of UCECOAT® 7891.

EBECRYL® 5848 is an epoxidized soya oil acrylate based in part on renewable resources. EBECRYL® 5848 provides improved flow, leveling and pigment wetting in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) energy curable inks and coatings. Adhesion and flexibility are often enhanced when EBECRYL® 5848 is used as a modifier in inks and clear or pigmented coatings on paper and metal.

EBECRYL® 3720 is a bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate that is the industry standard in performance and consistency. It exhibits light color and fast cure response. Films of EBECRYL® 3720 cured via exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high surface hardness, gloss and excellent chemical resistance. EBECRYL® 3720 finds broad use in UV/EB applications, such as inks, coatings, and overprint varnishes and offers improved formulation stability.

EBECRYL® 8315 is an aliphatic urethane tetraacrylate diluted with the reactive diluent hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA). Films of EBECRYL® 8315 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) have a unique combination of hardness, toughness, flexibility, and abrasion resistance coupled with outstanding exterior durability properties. These performance properties make EBECRYL® 8315 ideal for applications such as paint protection, printed electronics, automotive interior film and embossing or thermoforming after cure.

EBECRYL® LEO 10601 is a modified epoxy acrylate that provides low extractables and low odor after UV or EB curing. EBECRYL® LEO 10601 exhibits good pigment wetting properties and produces UV offset inks exhibiting enhanced ink-water balance and low misting. EBECRYL® LEO 10601 can also be used to produce UV flexo inks with good flow, high gloss and high reactivity.
