Viscosity Reduction

Ebecryl®3105 can be diluted with reactive monomers such as 1,6 hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA), dipropyleneglycol diacrylate (DPGDA) and oligotriacrylate (OTA 480). The specific reactive diluent(s) used will influence performance properties such as hardness and flexibility.
