Suggested Applications

Formulated UV/EB curable products containing EBECRYL® 171 may be applied by screen, direct or reverse roll, coating methods.

Due to its acidic character, EBECRYL® 171 can undergo hydrolysis and therefore formulations containing EBECRYL® 171 should be kept from humidity.

Since EBECRYL® 171 can react with alkaline materials, the use of free amines,amino acrylates and basic pigments with EBECRYL® 171 should be avoided.

EBECRYL® 171 is recommended for use in coatings on:
  • metal
  • glass
  • plastics
  • melamine paperTypical usage is between 1% and 5% of the total formulation.
