EBECRYL® 11

EBECRYL® 11 is a polyethylene glycol diacrylate derivative designed for applications requiring water solubility. Here's an overview of its properties and applications:

Product Description:

• It's a water-soluble polyethylene glycol diacrylate derivative.
• Designed for applications needing water solubility.

Performance Highlights:

• Low viscosity and low color.
• UV/EB cured products based on EBECRYL® 11 exhibit good flexibility but low water resistance.
• The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on other formulation components like reactive diluents, additives, and photoinitiators.

Suggested Applications:

• Screen inks and coatings
• Wood applications
• Paper coatings

Typical Values:

• Density: 1.12 g/cm³
• Molecular weight: Theoretical value around ±700
• Functionality: Theoretical value of 2
• Polymer solids: 100% by weight
• Solidification temperature range: Below 17 - 22°C

Precautions:

• Toxicological properties are not fully determined, but it can be expected to be irritating to the eyes and skin and potentially cause sensitization or allergic responses.
• Avoid eye and skin contact as well as inhalation of aerosols or vapors. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet for proper handling procedures and protective equipment.

Storage and Handling:

• Avoid exposing the product to temperatures exceeding 40°C for prolonged periods or direct sunlight, as it may lead to uncontrollable polymerization.
• Store in suitable containers like stainless steel, amber glass, amber polyethylene, or baked phenolic-lined containers.
• Use dry air to displace material removed from the container.
• Do not store the material under an oxygen-free atmosphere.
• Shelf life is limited to two years.

Statutory Labeling: For statutory labeling information, refer to the Safety Data Sheet.

Overall, EBECRYL® 11 offers water solubility and finds applications in various coatings and printing processes, especially those requiring flexibility and compatibility with water-based systems.
