EBECRYL® IBOA, or isobornyl acrylate, is a high-purity, low-color monofunctional diluent monomer that undergoes polymerization when exposed to sources of free radicals. It serves as a diluent that is compatible with a broad range of acrylated oligomers commonly used in UV/EB curing applications. The favorable viscosity reduction and low shrinkage properties of EBECRYL® IBOA make it valuable in various overprint varnishes, inks, and coatings. Applications for EBECRYL® IBOA include wood coatings and finishes, furniture coatings, and industrial coatings, where it contributes to the formulation's properties and performance.

Storage and Handling
Care should be taken not to expose radiation curable products to temperatures exceeding 40°C for prolonged periods or to direct sunlight. This might cause uncontrollable polymerization of the product with generation of heat. Storage and handling should be in stainless steel, amber glass, amber polyethylene or baked phenolic lined containers. Do not store this material under an oxygen free atmosphere. Use dry air to displace material removed from the container. This material should not be stored for more than 1 year.
