EBECRYL® LEO 10101

EBECRYL® LEO 10101 is a self-curing multifunctional acrylate resin used for UV curing of printing inks and coatings. It belongs to the ECOWISE™ CHOICE product range for selected applications and is produced following Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Key features and information about EBECRYL® LEO 10101:

• UV Curing: It enables the UV curing of printing inks and coatings without requiring additional photoinitiator, which reduces the risk of migration in indirect food contact applications.
• Performance Highlights: It has low viscosity and good cure response. UV-cured products based on EBECRYL® LEO 10101 exhibit low residual odor and low extractables.
• Suggested Applications: It is recommended for use in low migration Flexo inks and low migration overprint varnishes. It can be applied by flexography, screen, gravure, direct, or reverse roll.
• Typical Values:
  • Density: 1.1 g/cm³
  • Viscosity at 25°C: 4000 mPa·s
  • Residual acrylic acid: < 200 ppm
  • Residual solvent: < 10 ppm
  • Average molecular weight: ~1000 Dalton
• Mutagenicity Assessment: Mutagenicity studies have been conducted, and EBECRYL® LEO 10101 is considered non-genotoxic based on the weight of evidence from mutagenicity test results.
• Storage and Handling: It should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 40°C for prolonged periods or to direct sunlight, as this might cause uncontrollable polymerization. Storage and handling should be in appropriate containers, and it should not be stored for more than 2 years.
• Precaution: Appropriate precautions should be taken to avoid eye and skin contact as well as inhalation of aerosols or vapors. Consult the Safety Data Sheet for detailed handling procedures and protective equipment.
• Statutory Labeling: For statutory labeling information, refer to the Safety Data Sheet.

Overall, EBECRYL® LEO 10101 is designed for applications requiring UV curing of inks and coatings, particularly in environments where migration risks need to be minimized, such as in food contact applications.
