  • Product Type: Oligomer-Epoxy
  • Master Product Number: MITM00452
  • Product SKUs: ITM14792, ITM14854

Product Details

EBECRYL 860 is an epoxidized soya oil acrylate especially suited to improving the flow and leveling of ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) curable inks and coatings.  Pigment wetting and adhesion are often enhanced when EBECRYL 860 is used as a modifier in inks and clear or pigmented coatings on paper and metal.

Formulations containing EBECRYL 860 are characterized by:
  • Improved flow and leveling
  • Good pigment wetting
  • Good substrate wetting
  • Good hydrophilic-lipophilic balance for lithography
 
UV/EB cured products based on EBECRYL 860 are characterized by the following performance properties:
  • Enhanced adhesion on paper and metal
  • Good surface appearance
  • Improved substrate wetting
  • Good pigment wetting
 
The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of other formulation components such as reactive diluents, additives and photoinitiators.
 

Typical Applications

Formulated UV/EB curable products containing EBECRYL 860 may be applied via direct or reverse roll, offset gravure, metering rod, slot die, knife over roll, air knife, curtain, immersion and spin coating methods, as well as flexographic, lithographic and screen printing. 
 
EBECRYL 860 is recommended as a modifying resin for:
  • Overprint varnishes for paper
  • Lithographic ink vehicles
  • Metal decorating and protective coatings
  • Screen ink vehicles
  • Pigmented coatings for wood
