EBECRYL® 3600

EBECRYL® 3600 is an amine modified bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate designed for UV and electron beam (EB) curing applications. Here's a breakdown of its features, applications, and precautions:

Introduction:

• EBECRYL® 3600 is a resin that cures rapidly under UV light exposure.
• It forms films with high gloss, hardness, and excellent chemical resistance.
• The amine modification can enhance adhesion to plastics.

Performance Highlights:

• Rapid UV cure response
• Light color
• UV/EB cured products exhibit good chemical resistance, high surface hardness, high gloss, and improved adhesion to plastics.

Suggested Applications:

• Clear coatings for paper and plastic
• Wood topcoats, fillers, and sealers
• Screen inks and coatings

Specifications:

• Acid value: max. 1 mg KOH/g
• Appearance: Clear liquid
• Color: max. 4 Gardner
• Viscosity at 65.5°C: 1100 - 1600 mPa.s

Typical Physical Properties:

• Density at 25°C: 1.17 g/cm³
• Theoretical functionality: 2

Typical Cured Properties:

• Tensile strength: 4050 psi (28 MPa)
• Elongation at break: 1.0%
• Young's modulus: 359700 psi (2480 MPa)
• Glass transition temperature: 83°C

Viscosity Reduction:

• Reactive diluents such as 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), isobornyl acrylate (IBOA), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), and tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) can reduce viscosity.
• Viscosity changes with temperature are illustrated in Graph II.

Precautions:

• Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for hazard information and recommended protective measures.
• Store away from heat, sunlight, ignition sources, oxidizing agents, alkalis, or acids.
• Use appropriate containers and avoid oxygen displacement.
• Ensure adequate ventilation during handling.

EBECRYL® 3600 offers fast curing and robust properties suitable for various coating and ink applications, with attention to safety and proper handling procedures.
