EBECRYL® LED 02

Mercapto modified polyester acrylate resin primarily used as a co-resin in UV curable formulations. It enhances surface cure in UV LED, UVA, or low-energy curing systems by mitigating oxygen inhibition of the free radical process. Here are the key details:

Introduction:

• EBECRYL® LED 02 is a co-resin designed to increase surface cure in UV curable formulations.
• It transforms formulations into UV LED, UVA, or low energy curable systems by providing better surface cure.

Performance Data:

• EBECRYL® LED 02 is used to increase surface cure in formulations cured with UV LED, UVA, or low energy lamps.
• It mitigates oxygen inhibition of the free radical process, resulting in better surface cure.

Suggested Formulations:

• Formulation A: Contains no materials to mitigate oxygen inhibition, remains tacky under all cure conditions.
• Formulation B: Contains EBECRYL 8811 for better surface cure under specific conditions.
• Formulation C: Contains EBECRYL® LED 02 and EBECRYL® 8811, cures completely under all shown low-energy cure conditions.

Physical Data:

• Appearance: Transparent liquid.
• Dynamic Viscosity at 25°C: 60 - 350 mPa.s.
• Density: 1.17 g/cm3.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with a broad range of selected resins such as urethane acrylates, polyester acrylates, and epoxy acrylates.
• Also compatible with acidic additives like adhesion promoters.
• Not compatible with all resins, especially those containing amines.

Storage and Handling:

• Avoid exposing to temperatures exceeding 30°C or direct sunlight to prevent uncontrollable polymerization.
• Store in appropriate containers (stainless steel, amber glass, amber polyethylene, or baked phenolic lined).
• Use dry air to displace material removed from the container.
• Shelf life is limited to 6 months.

Precautions:

• Toxicological properties not fully determined, may cause eye and skin irritation.
• Take appropriate precautions to avoid contact with eyes, skin, and inhalation of aerosols or vapors.
• Consult the Safety Data Sheet for detailed handling procedures and protective equipment recommendations.

In summary, EBECRYL® LED 02 serves as an effective co-resin in UV curable formulations, enhancing surface cure and expanding the application potential of UV LED, UVA, and low-energy curing systems.
