HDDA is a difunctional reactive diluent that is commonly used as a component of ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings and inks. HDDA is particularly useful in coatings and inks where improved elasticity, weathering and adhesion are desired in combination with excellent water resistance.

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® 180 is a multifunctional reactive diluent with a high degree of acrylic unsaturation and finds use in a variety of ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings and ink systems where a high degree of crosslinking is desired. EBECRYL® 180 is a mixture of predominantly the tri- and tetra-acrylate esters of pentaerythritol. EBECRYL® 180 has a higher ratio of tetra- to tri-acrylate ester than the similar product PETIA, and therefore typically crystallizes at normal ambient temperatures.

PETIA is a multifunctional reactive diluent with a high degree of acrylic unsaturation and finds use in a variety of ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings and ink systems where a high degree of crosslinking is desired. PETIA is a mixture of predominantly the tri- and tetra-acrylate esters of pentaerythritol. PETIA has a higher ratio of tri - to tetra-acrylate ester than the similar product EBECRYL 180, and therefore remains liquid at normal ambient temperatures.

DPGDA is a difunctional reactive diluent that polymerizes when exposed to sources of free radicals. DPGDA is particularly useful in coatings and inks where improved flexibility and adhesion are desired in combination with good moisture resistance.

TPGDA is a difunctional reactive diluent with a branched alkyl polyether backbone. Polymerization occurs when TPGDA is exposed to sources of free radicals. It is widely used as a primary diluent in the formulation of ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) energy curable coatings and inks.

EBECRYL® 113 is a low odor monofunctional acrylated aliphatic epoxy that can be used as a reactive diluent in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curing formulations. EBECRYL® 113 is a good diluent for a variety of acrylated oligomers. In formulations, it can lower Tg, increase flexibility and improve adhesion to plastics.

IBOA is a monofunctional reactive diluent that polymerizes when exposed to sources of free radicals. The bicyclic structure of IBOA gives rise to polymers of increased Tg, while its monofunctionality minimizes crosslinking to provide coatings and inks with good hardness and resiliency combined with flexibility and impact resistance.

Acrylated Dipentaerythritol (DPHA) is a multifunctional reactive diluent that polymerizes when exposed to sources of free radicals. DPHA is particularly useful in ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings and inks where improved cure response, hardness, and scratch/abrasion resistance are desired. DPHA is composed predominately of the penta- and hexa-acrylate esters of dipentaerythritol, with the overall composition represented by the included chemical structure.

EBECRYL® 118 is an aromatic monofunctional acrylate that can be used as a reactive diluent in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curing formulations. EBECRYL® 118 is a good diluent for a variety of acrylated oligomers. In formulations, it can lower Tg and increase flexibility of the UV/EB cured polymer while maintaining strength and toughness and improving substrate adhesion.

OTA 480 is a triacrylate reactive diluent based on a glycerol derivative. It exhibits low viscosity and good flexibility for a triacrylate and its high functionality contributes to good reactivity and hardness.

TMPTA is a widely used reactive diluent in ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings and inks. It imparts crosslinking to the cured polymer providing hardness and chemical resistance.

EBECRYL® 110 is a monofunctional reactive diluent characterized by low viscosity and relatively low odor. EBECRYL® 110 is used in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) cured coatings to control viscosity and increase flexibility.

EBECRYL® 114 is a monofunctional reactive diluent characterized by low viscosity and relatively low odor. EBECRYL® 114 is used in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) cured coatings and inks to control viscosity and increase adhesion and flexibility.

EBECRYL® 150 is an ethoxylated bisphenol A diacrylate commonly used as reactive diluent in UV/EB cure applications. EBECRYL® 150 can improve the cure response, hardness, and chemical resistance of UV/EB curable coatings and inks while maintaining good adhesion, and without imparting brittleness.
