EBECRYL® 8896 is an innovative aliphatic urethane acrylate designed for applications that require haptic properties, commonly known as "soft touch/feel." Films of EBECRYL® 8896, when cured by exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) or an electron beam (EB), exhibit toughness, flexibility, and resistance to yellowing. This resin is particularly suitable for creating coatings with a soft touch effect. It is compatible with various fillers, pigments, waxes, and polymeric beads, offering formulators flexibility to achieve a range of haptic properties, from a velvety/silky feel to EBECRYL® 8896's intrinsic rubbery feel. The combination of EBECRYL® 8894 with EBECRYL® 8896 can enhance the abrasion resistance of the soft touch binder EBECRYL® 8896 without compromising the haptic effect. Applications for EBECRYL® 8896 include automotive OEM coatings, wood coatings and finishes, as well as industrial coatings.
