  • CAS: 5888-33-5

Product Details

EBECRYL 8413 is designed as the pigment grind oligomer for UV cured thermoformable ink applications and is designed for use in conjunction with the letdown oligomer, EBECRYL 1300.  EBECRYL 8413 exhibits good milling properties and has very high elongation (550%).  When used together with EBECRYL 1300, non-blocking thermoformable inks can be developed.  These thermoformable inks demonstrate scratch and temperature resistance, as well as excellent adhesion to a variety of plastic substrates without the necessity of corona discharge or flame pretreatment.

EBECRYL 8413 is characterized by:
  • Excellent flexibility, 550% elongation at break
  • Good milling properties
  • High gloss
  • Light color
 
UV cured thermoformable inks based on EBECRYL 8413 and EBECRYL 1300 are characterized by the following performance properties:
  • Themoformability (In external tests, 1 to 8 draw ratios have been achieved on polycarbonate sheets)
  • Tack-free state after cure, non-blocking systems
  • Good temperature resistance
  • Good scratch resistance
  • Low shrinkage (1.2%)
  • Suitable for first and second surface applications
  • Excellent intercoat adhesion
  • Good adhesion to a variety of untreated plastic substrates including:
    • Polycarbonate
    • Polystyrene
    • PVC (polyvinylchloride)
    • Polyester
    • Acrylic
    • PET-G (glycol modified polyethyleneterephthalate)
 
The actual properties of the final cured products also depend on the selection of other formulation components such as reactive diluents, additives and photoinitiators.
