EBECRYL® 1885

EBECRYL® 1885 is an undiluted polyesteracrylate resin designed for use in UV or electron beam (EB) cured coatings. Here's a summary of its key features, specifications, and applications:

Introduction:

• EBECRYL® 1885 is an undiluted polyesteracrylate resin that cures to form films with high flexibility and excellent abrasion resistance when exposed to UV or EB light.
• It is particularly recommended for applications in parquet floor and furniture coatings.

Performance Highlights:

• Medium viscosity.
• UV/EB cured products based on EBECRYL® 1885 exhibit excellent abrasion resistance, high flexibility, and good reactivity.
• Final product properties depend on the selection of other formulation components.

Suggested Applications:

• Can be applied by direct or reverse roll coating methods.
• Recommended for use in:
  • Parquet floor applications
  • Furniture coatings
  • Plastic coatings
  • Resilient flooring

Typical Values:

• Dynamic viscosity at 25°C: ± 34000 mPa.s
• Gardner color max: 5
• Acid value max: 25 mg KOH/g

Physical Properties:

• Density: 1.19 g/cm3
• Polymer solids: 100% by weight
• Functionality: 3
• Theoretical molecular weight: 1350

Typical Cured Properties:

• Tensile strength: 3.5 MPa
• Tensile elongation: 22%
• Young's Modulus: 18.3 MPa
• Glass transition temperature: 21°C

Viscosity Reduction:

• Can be diluted with reactive monomers such as TMPTA, OTA 480, TPGDA, HDDA, and ODA, which are produced by allnex.
• Choice of reactive diluent influences properties such as hardness and flexibility.

Storage and Handling:

• Avoid exposure to temperatures exceeding 40°C for prolonged periods or direct sunlight to prevent uncontrollable polymerization.
• Store in suitable containers and avoid storing under an oxygen-free atmosphere.
• Shelf life is not recommended for more than 2 years.

Precautions:

• Toxicological properties not fully determined; expected to be eye and skin irritant with potential for sensitization or allergic responses.
• Follow appropriate handling procedures and protective equipment as outlined in the Safety Data Sheet.

EBECRYL® 1885 offers versatility and performance in UV/EB cured coatings, particularly suited for applications requiring high flexibility and abrasion resistance, such as parquet floors and furniture coatings.
