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® 450 is a fatty acid modified polyester hexaacrylate. Because of the special structure of the backbone and the high acrylic functionality, EBECRYL® 450 provides the proper hydrophilic-lipophilic balance necessary for lithography, combined with high reactivity when cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or an electron beam (EB). Lithographic inks based on EBECRYL® 450 display outstanding printing qualities, including excellent ink transfer, good dot definition, and proper tack and rheological properties.

EBECRYL LEO® 10103 is a multifunctional acrylate that in the presence of an amine synergist can enable the UV curing of printing inks and coatings without, or with only a minimal amount, of photoinitiator. The elimination or reduction of photoinitiator decreases the potential for migration in indirect food contact applications. EBECRYL LEO® 10103can be used for low migration over print varnishes along with flexographic and offset inks in the entire color range, including white. EBECRYL LEO® 10103 at 10-20% by weight in a coating or ink can provide a good balance of surface and through cure.

EBECRYL® 4740 is a weather-stable aliphatic urethane acrylate having a low viscosity due to the allophanate structure. Formulations based on EBECRYL® 4740 exhibit high reactivity and yield tough and elastic polymers. Coatings formulated with EBECRYL® 4740 are characterized by very good chemical and mechanical resistances, scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, and high resistance to yellowing.

EBECRYL® 4857 is a low viscosity, monomer free aliphatic urethane diacrylate which exhibits good flexibility in UV or EB cured films. The resin is designed to exhibit low yellowing and good exterior durability. Due to its low Tg the product is suitable for applications requiring haptic properties (e.g. “soft touch/feel”).

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

EBECRYL® 4396 is an undiluted isocyanate aliphatic functional urethane acrylate designed for use in UV/EB coatings and in two-component dual cure systems for coatings on wood, plastic, and metal.

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® 8405 is an aliphatic urethane tetraacrylate diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA)(1). Films of EBECRYL 8405 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) combine abrasion resistance, flexibility, and adhesion with excellent exterior durability and resistance to yellowing.

EBECRYL® 1258 is a trifunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate diluted 20% by weight with hydroxypropylmethacrylate (HPMA) that does not contain any intentionally added organic tin compounds, heavy metals, hydroquinone (HQ) or methyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ). (Please note that quinones are present in many raw materials, so the overall quinone content is reduced, but not zero in EBECRYL® 1258.) Films of EBECRYL® 1258 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) combine abrasion resistance, flexibility, and adhesion with resistance to yellowing.

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® 249 is an aliphatic urethane methacrylate. Films of EBECRYL® 249 cured by electron beam (EB) or ultraviolet light (UV) exhibit good exterior durability, good adhesion and a high order of scuff and abrasion.

EBECRYL® 870 is a fatty acid modified polyester hexaacrylate. Because of the special structure of the backbone and the high acrylic functionality, EBECRYL® 870 provides the proper hydrophilic-lipophilic balance necessary for lithography, and high reactivity when cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or an electron beam (EB). Lithographic inks based on EBECRYL® 870 will also display outstanding printing qualities, including excellent ink transfer, good dot definition and proper tack and rheological properties.
