Features & Benefits

Performance Highlights

EBECRYL P104 is characterized by:
• Very low viscosity
• Light color
• Improved stability vs. conventional tertiary amines
• Low volatility                                                                                                                     
UV/EB cured products based on EBECRYL P104 are characterized by the following performance properties:
• Excellent UV cure response
• Reduced odor
• No surface migration of amine
• No reaction of amine with organic pigments
• High gloss  


The final properties of UV cured products also depend on the selection of other
formulation components such as oligomers, reactive diluents and additives.

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 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.
