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® 3203 is a low viscosity modified Bisphenol-A based epoxy acrylate oligomer that provides exceptional pigment wetting properties for black and white inorganic pigments and fillers. EBECRYL® 3203 gives a fast cure response when formulated with other oligomers cured via ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB). EBECRYL® 3203 is used for the preparation of high pigment loading pigment pastes produced using a 3-roll mill or bead mill.

EBECRYL® 1606 is a bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate diluted with 20-25% of trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA)(1) monomer. EBECRYL® 1606 is characterized by its light color, low odour and fast cure response. Films of EBECRYL® 1606 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) exhibit high gloss, high surface hardness and the good solvent resistance typical of an epoxyresin.

EBECRYL® 824 functions as a monomer and oligomer in CASE ingredients. It belongs to the chemical mixtures and blends family.

EBECRYL® 3730-TP20 is the modified diacrylate ester of a bisphenol A based epoxy resin diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA). It is designed primarily for use in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable formulations. EBECRYL® 3730-TP20 is light in color with high UV/EB reactivity, and exhibits good wetting of pigments, matting agents and substrates compared to unmodified epoxy acrylates. Cured films based on EBECRYL® 3730-TP20 will typically demonstrate high gloss and hardness, and good chemical resistance.

EBECRYL® 1140 is used in radiation-curable coatings. It functions as a binder and resin in CASE ingredients.

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® 1871 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® 1871 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® 1871 has been specifically developed to formulate low migration UV/EB curable inks for indirect food contact applications.

EBECRYL® 811 is an ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable polyester acrylate for either wet or dry offset printing on plastic substrates. Inks made using EBECRYL® 811 obtain excellent adhesion to calendered vinyl, polystyrene, polyolefins, polycarbonate and PVC. The water balance of this product allows inks based upon it to be run on press with low amounts of fountain solution: a key parameter for printing on non-absorbent substrates.

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.

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.

AEROTEX® IBMA Monomer a homolog of N-methylolacrylamide (NMA), is the isobutyl ether of NMA. It contains a readily polymerizable vinyl group as well as a crosslinkable iso-butoxymethyl group.

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.

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 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.
