EBECRYL® 600/50 TM

EBECRYL® 600/50 TM is a type of epoxy acrylate oligomer, which is a mixture of bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate and trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) monomer. It's characterized by its light color, low odor, and fast cure response. When cured using ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB), it forms films with high gloss, high surface hardness, and good solvent resistance typical of epoxy resins.

Here are some key points about EBECRYL® 600/50 TM:

• Storage and Handling:
  • Avoid exposing to temperatures exceeding 40°C for prolonged periods or direct sunlight.
  • Store in appropriate containers and conditions to prevent uncontrollable polymerization.
  • Use dry air to displace material removed from the container.
  • Shelf life: not more than 2 years after the production date.

Precautions:

• • Toxicological properties not fully determined; may cause eye and skin irritation and allergic responses.
  • Take appropriate precautions to avoid contact and inhalation.
  • Refer to Safety Data Sheet for detailed handling procedures and protective equipment.

Statutory Labeling:

• • Refer to Safety Data Sheet for statutory labeling information.

It's primarily used in formulations for UV/EB curable products in various applications such as coatings and varnishes.
