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.

RHOPLEX® 2601 is a versatile binder designed for interior and exterior coatings and can be formulated across a broad PVC range. For exterior durability, higher coalescent levels may be needed to ensure good film formation in higher PVC paints. While RHOPLEX® 2601 is a harder latex binder, it should be noted that it is possible to develop low VOC paints with the use of low VOC coalescents (i.e. DOWANOL™ LoV 485 Glycol Ether, Optifilm 400, etc.).

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® 640/20 TO is a modified diacrylate ester of bisphenol A epoxy resin. This product is characterized by its light color, fast cure response and improved pigment wetting. Films of EBECRYL®640/20 TO cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit high surface hardness and gloss and the excellent solvent resistance typical of an epoxy resin. EBECRYL®640/20 TO finds broad use in UV/EB applications, such as inks, coatings and overprint varnishes.

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.

Caspol™ 5001 is a 100% solids castor oil based reactive diluent with a linear chain backbone having low viscosity, good compatibility and wetting. This polyol is the lowest molecular weight diol of the Caspol series. Caspol™ 5001 has a very low viscosity and produces higher strength, elongation and flexibility than DBTM Oil.

EBECRYL® LEO 10801 is a hexafunctional polyester acrylate oligomer that provides high reactivity and the proper ink water balance necessary for good lithographic printing. Lithographic inks based on EBECRYL® LEO 10801 display excellent rheological properties ensuring good ink transfer from the printing plate to the blanket and then to the substrate, combined with good dot definition. EBECRYL® LEO 10801 has been specifically developed to formulate UV/EB curable inks with low extractables and low odor for indirect food contact applications.

VANCRYL® 989 is a high glass transition temperature acrylic emulsion for the graphic arts industry. Excellent gloss and fast drying rates can be obtained by utilizing VANCRYL® 989 in inks and coatings. It is suitable for both flexographic and gravure printing on paper substrates. VANCRYL® 989 has excellent compatibility with pigment dispersions and alcohols. Inks formulated with this product have good transfer, printability, and resolubility. Because it is a hard polymer, VANCRYL® 989 can also be formulated as a high gloss over print varnish with very good heat, water, oil, and scuff resistance.

EVATANE® 28-40 is a random ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

EVATANE® 42-60 is a random ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

D.E.H.® 39 Epoxy Curing Agent is a liquid cycloaliphatic polyamine curing agent. D.E.H.® 39 Resin is a low viscosity aliphatic polyamine based on aminoethylpiperazine (AEP). D.E.H.® 39 Curing Agent provides a short pot-life and cures in minutes with liquid epoxy resins. Similar in application to D.E.H. 20, 24, 26 and 29 Epoxy Curing Agents, D.E.H.® 39 Curing Agent is used for maintenance paints, the manufacture of epoxy-amine adducts, in adhesives, civil engineering applications and as an accelerator for polyamide curing agents. In electrical applications, D.E.H.® 39 Curing Agent is used for casting, potting and encapsulation. D.E.H.® 39 Curing Agent is often used for epoxy composite materials.

EBECRYL® 7100 is an acrylated amine primarily 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® 7100 provides rapid UV cure response in air by mitigating the effects of oxygen inhibition at the coating or ink surface. Unlike conventional tertiary amines such as N-methyldiethanolamine, EBECRYL® 7100 reacts to become part of the UV cured polymer, resulting in lower residual odor and improved moisture resistance. EBECRYL® 7100 also promotes adhesion to plastic substrates and lowers viscosity when used as a primary component in UV adhesives and coatings.
