- Performance Highlights
Ebecryl®546 is characterized by:
- Light color
- Chlorine free
- Very good pigment wetting
- Good ink water balance
- Good adhesion-scratch compromise
UV/EB cured films of Ebecryl®546 show good adhesion to plastic substrates such as PE, PP, PET, PC and PVC The actual properties of UV/EB cured formulations based on Ebecryl®546 also depend on the selection of the other formulation components, such as reactive diluent(s), additives and photoinitiators.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Viscosity Reduction
Ebecryl®546 can be diluted with reactive monomers such as 1,6 hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA)(1), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA) and oligotriacrylate (OTA 480) . The specific reactive diluent(s) used will influence performance properties such as odor, adhesion, hardness and flexibility.
