EBECRYL® 85 is a low viscosity amine-modified polyether acrylate designed to offer high reactivity in low extractable, low odor energy-curable coatings and inks. When cured by UV or EB, coatings and inks based on EBECRYL® 85 exhibit a low odor. This clear liquid is characterized by features such as long pot life, high gloss, improved chemical resistance, faster cycle time, low-temperature curing, good compatibility, low viscosity, and low energy consumption. These properties make it suitable for various applications, including radiation-curable coatings, inkjet inks, varnishes, and flexography inks.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling
Care should be taken not to expose the product to high temperature condition 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. See the SDS for the recommended storage temperature range for EBECRYL 85. Please refer to the allnex Guide to Safety and Handling of Acrylate Oligomers and Monomers for additional information on the safe handling of acrylates.
