Features & Benefits
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Performance Highlights
EBECRYL 1360 is characterized by:
• Low surface tension
• Low viscosity
• High functionality
• Non-migratory
UV/EB cured products containing EBECRYL 1360 are characterized by the following performance properties:
• Reduced COF, increased slip
• Resistance to blocking
• High gloss
• Good mar resistance
• Non-migratory
The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of other formulation components such as reactive diluents, additives and photoinitiators.

- Suggested Applications
Formulated UV/EB curable products containing EBECRYL 1360 may be applied via direct or reverse roll, offset gravure, metering rod, slot die, knife over roll, air knife, immersion and spin coating methods as well as screen printing. EBECRYL 1360 is recommended for use in:
• Overprint varnishes
• Clear coatings on paper, plastics and metal
• Release coatings
• EB cure
Usage levels between 0.5% and 2.0% by weight of the total formulation are generally sufficient to provide satisfactory slip

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.
EBECRYL 1360 may exhibit crystallization if subjected to temperatures below 15°C. This crystallization can be removed by heating containers of EBECRYL 1360 to a uniform temperature of 40°C. Ovens or hotboxes are recommended methods of heating. Heating bands or blankets should not be used.
