EBECRYL® 895 is a multifunctional monomer that undergoes polymerization when exposed to sources of free radicals. It primarily consists of the pentaacrylate and hexaacrylate esters of dipentaerythritol. This monomer is especially valuable in UV (ultraviolet) and EB (electron beam) curable inks and coatings where enhanced cure response, hardness, and scratch and abrasion resistance are desired. End uses for EBECRYL® 895 include radiation curable coating applications such as wood coatings and finishes, furniture coatings, and industrial coatings. Common application methods for this monomer include Gravure coating and roller application.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling
Care should be taken not to expose the product to high temperature conditions, direct sunlight, ignition sources, oxidizing agents, alkalis oracids. This might cause uncontrollable polymerization of the productwith 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 additional information on the safe handling of acrylates
