EBECRYL® LEO 10502 is a low viscosity polymeric tetrafunctional polyether acrylate that provides low extractables, low odor and low migration after UV or EB curing. EBECRYL® LEO 10502 is recommended for use in low odor and low migrating UV/EB curable overprint varnishes (OPV’s) and inks.

EBECRYL® 3700-20T is the bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate, EBECRYL 3700, diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA)(1), to provide a lower viscosity, easier handling product. EBECRYL 3700- 20T exhibits very fast cure response and low odor. Films of EBECRYL® 3700-20T cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss, surface hardness, scratch resistance, and excellent chemical resistance.

EBECRYL® 8604 is an aliphatic urethane tetraacrylate. As the main resin, EBECRYL 8604 offers excellent reactivity combined with good hardness and toughness. As a co-resin, EBECRYL 8604 blended with higher functional (penta or greater) oligomer(s) improves reactivity and weatherability while increasing the ductility with minimum impact surface hardness. Films of EBECRYL 8604 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) combine abrasion resistance, hardness, and excellent exterior durability.

EBECRYL® 242N is a tin-free aliphatic urethane acrylate diluted in isobornyl acrylate (IBOA).

EBECRYL® 1710 is an acrylic polymer diluted 60% by weight with the reactive diluent 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA)(1). EBECRYL® 1710 is used as the primary or a modifying oligomer in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable formulations to improve film properties such as adhesion and lay-down.

EBECRYL® 4200 is an undiluted, unsaturated aliphatic urethane acrylate designed for wood coatings (cork and parquet) with a high grit feeder abrasion resistance.

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® 4859 is a difunctional aliphatic urethane methacrylate 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 4859.) Due to a low intrinsic viscosity, EBECRYL 4859 offers ease of formulating in energy curable systems that are low in viscosity with high oligomer content. Films of EBECRYL 4859 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit good hardness, optically clarity, low color and good impact resistance.

EBECRYL® 4587 is a solvent-free, water emulsifiable aliphatic urethane acrylate, for use in ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) curable coatings

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.
