- Performance Highlights
DPHA is characterized by:
- High acrylate functionality
- Hydroxyl functionality
- Very low vapor pressure
UV/EB curable formulated products containing DPHA are characterized by:
- Rapid cure response
- High cross-link density
- Improved scratch and abrasion resistance
- Excellent hardness
- Good chemical resistance
The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of other formulation components such as oligomers, additives and photoinitiators.
Applications & Uses

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling
Care should be taken not to expose the product to high temperature conditions, direct sunlight, ignition sources, oxidizing agents, alkalis or acids. This might cause uncontrollable polymerization of the product with the generation of heat. Storage and handling should be in stainless steel, amber glass, amber polyethylene or baked phenolic lined containers. Procedures that remove or displace oxygen from the material should be avoided. Do not store this material under an oxygen free atmosphere. Dry air is recommended to displace material removed from the container. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container tightly closed. Use with adequate ventilation.
