EBECRYL® 8812 is an aliphatic urethane acrylate that stands out for not containing intentionally added organic tin compounds, heavy metals, hydroquinone (HQ), or methyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ). It's important to note that quinones may be present in some raw materials, so the overall quinone content is reduced but not zero in EBECRYL® 8812. Diluted with 10% by weight of the reactive diluent ethoxyethoxyethyl acrylate (EOEOEA), films of EBECRYL® 8812, when cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB), exhibit excellent abrasion resistance, toughness, rapid cure response, and resistance to yellowing. Some of its notable features include faster cycle time, low-temperature curing, outdoor durability, low energy consumption, high impact resistance, improved flexibility, and long pot life.

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.Upon storage, EBECRYL 8812 may show signs of crystallization. This crystallization can be removed by heating containers of EBECRYL 8812 to auniform temperature of 70°C. Ovens or hotboxes are recommended methodsheating. Heating tapes should not be used. In typical formulations, EBECRYL8812 does not exhibit signs of crystallization. See the SDS for the recommended storage temperature range for EBECRYL 881. Please refer to the allnex Guide to Safety and Handling of Acrylate Oligomers and Monomers for additional information on the safe handling of acrylates.
